"Interesting" reading! Tells that the Amphi-Ranger was developed in 1946 Germany. That is right after WWII when Germany was forbidden to develop amphibious vehicles. The right answer is 1982 Germany. ;-) The Amtrack LVT-1 (a TRACKED vehicle) has a 1200 cc engine (same as the UK Herald) that drives the REAR WHEELS. That sounds more like the engine of the Amphicar. ;-) Amphicar 1147cc or Herald 13/60 (1296cc). |

| Amphicar @ other Amphibious Cars |
Trevor Alder | 1995 | Antiquarian | PB Transport Source Books Ltd |
|
The same book has a few different covers. But I do not judge a book by its cover. ;-) The book contains a series of articles from papers and magazines about: Yes, you guessed it right, amphibious vehicles. ;-) Compiled by Trevor Alder 70 BW pages of amphibious fun. My copy has a disappointing print quality (Illegal print?) Through time forgotten info on English channel crossings and strange Amphibs. |

Everything you wanted to know about the DUKW and was afraid to ask. There are 50 pages and 65 % of the book is photo (some are colour) and the rest much technical info also about the prototypes. The landing in Normandy WWII is in the book |

| Kubelwagen | Tony Oliver | 1983 | Antiquarian | PB Almark Publication |
|
The book is not only about the Kubelwagen but it is also about the Schwimmwagen and the Trippel amphibious vehicles. I can say that 45 % of the book is amphibious. It is 80% photo and gives very much technical details in list form. |

About 450 pages military wheeled vehicles and 12 pages pure amphibians and a great many amphibious vehicles that are not in the amphibious chapters. Much intel about prototypes. Many very strange vehicles. When you read you will say "Is that where my tax money went!" ;-) It does not mater in which country you live, this is the sort of thing your tax money went to. |
