Landships II

Splendid, Cadorna!

Although, Eugene, I think the open top Fiat 2000 is simply the uncomplete prototype, out for a spin. The caption translated reads:

The hull partially completed of the first prototype of Fiat 2000 in the course of the tests carried out in the June of 1917.

BTW Eugene, I think you'll love the Early Armoured Cars download at the bottom of the page!

I've had no problem with larger files. These load ok its when I try to navigate, it sometimes works and sometimes everything just freezes up. I also get a lot of network errors. I think that there may be some incompatibility with AOL. I've saved a couple and I'll try viewing them throgh something else.

Thanks but let me try a few things first.

I haven't any book about italian artillery, I have one about trench mortars, from the early devices to the Stokes, but being brand-new and paid 24€ I'm not keen to cut it to pieces to scan

I bombardieri del Re - Storia e tecnologia del Corpo dei Bombardieri della Grande Guerra

There are two excellent books about italian artillery in the great war:

"L'artiglieria italiana nella grande guerra"

and

"Con gli Autocannoni sui fronti della grande guerra"
Andrea di Valmarana
Gino Rossato publisher
ISBN 88-8130-089-3 

You can order them from the publishers's site www.edizionirossato.it or from www.tuttostoria.it
