Kraftwagen-Flak
German ‘K-Flak’ Vehicle-Mounted and Trailer-Mounted Anti-Aircraft Guns

Limited Edition: 999 copies

With the outbreak of World War One, Imperial Germany had been engaging with army motorisation for almost 15 years. Yet on the matter of specialised tactical military vehicles, no final design or even production had ensued. Therefore, Germany entered the war with a fleet of rear-wheel-drive civilian trucks, cars and motorcycles, with very few of them even partially militarised. There was one vital exception: for motorised anti-aircraft artillery, the crucial need for a specially designed all-wheel-drive carrier vehicle had been identified at an early stage.
This publication deals in depth with, for the first time ever, the Kraftwagen-Flak motor vehicle-based anti-balloon and anti-aircraft artillery of the Kaiserreich. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs, this book tells the story from pre-war prototypes through to active service during the war years, and even into the post-war Freikorps and Reichswehr periods. Additional chapters cover Kraftwagen-Zugflak motor vehicle-towed trailer-mounted and Raupenflak tracked carrier-mounted anti-aircraft artillery.

In 96 pages this publication is lavishly illustrated with 222 photographs, the vast majority of which have never been published before. Limited Edition 999 copies.
