▼a World War II spanned the globe, leaving a plethora of discarded military technology in the most unexpected of locations. By the time the guns, aircraft, tanks, warships and myriad other weapon systems fell silent in September 1945, more than 50 million people were dead, and millions more wounded or displaced. Despite the passing of more than seven decades, the physical evidence of that conflict remains prolific and poignant. Some of it is small in scale - a rifle rusting in a ditch or a pile of shells stacked in a forest. Some of it is open and defiant: wartime fortresses still sit powerfully above coasts or atop mountains; while beneath the waves, numerous ships and aircraft lie muted in deep-blue, silt-grey or coal-black waters. In Abandoned World War II Aircraft, Tanks & Warships, discover the carcass of a Churchill tank left to decay on the English South Downs; unearth abandoned artillery guns and tanks in Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine; see gutted military vehicles around the port city of Tobruk, the scene of fierce fighting during the Desert War; ; explore sunken US Navy ships in the Solomon Islands and crashed Japanese bombers in the jungle of Papua New Guinea; discover the rusted cannons of Hamningberg Fort high in the Arctic Circle, or long-since quiet coastal gun emplacements near Vladivostok; and learn about the corroded remnants of the Bluie East Two US Air Force Base in Greenland. Organised by continent, Chris McNab offers an insightful pictorial journey through the military detritus of the twentieth century's most destructive war.
