Did Ian Hogg actually not write a volume on this subject? The APG ML-20 made me realize I did not have a good reference work on the subject. I ordered Michael Foedrowitz's Soviet Field Artillery in World War II. Being published by Schiffer, I assumed it would be a good reference work and didnt notice that it was only 48 pages. I must say I am pretty dissapointed... What else is there out there? Is there a Hogg work I havent come across?

Neil,

Try:

Chris Bellamy "Red God of War - Soviet Artillery and Rocket Forces"
Brassey's Defence Publishers, 1986.

Reginaldo, thanks. I came across that one and was wondering whether I should get it.

I have also come across references to VN Shunkov's Weapons of the Red Army or Artilleriia, etc. However, I'm unclear as to whether these are in Russian only, or both Russian & English as so many books are these days.

There is a book on Russian artillery in their language:

A.B. Shirokorad "Entsikloprediia otechestvennoi artillerii" Kharvest, Minsk 2000 - (9X11 1/2) inches - 1,155 pages.

It's a superb reference book, with all the guns built as prototypes and production.

Even if you can't read Russian I reccomend, if only for the illustrations.

Reg

P.S.: I bought via East View.
