As is standard with Ampersand publications, the photo quality is absolutely first-rate and the captions contain loads of information.  Even photos that have been seen previously are still worth a look, since the large, clear reproductions allow you to see loads of details.  Given that Allied-Axis had already done a two-part article on the Dragon Wagon I expected some overlap in coverage, but the number of photos duplicated here is actually quite small.   There are lots of new photos here, especially those of the LCMs being carried for the Rhine crossings.  Talk about instant diorama material!

Quite surprisingly, there is no discussion at all of the Dragon Wagon in model form, unlike their Modeler's Guides.  Given the quality of the Tamiya kit, however, I don't consider that a serious omission.  If I were to criticize any aspect of this book, though, it would probably be the inclusion of the M123 photos at the end.  They seem rather out of place in the book, and the coverage of the M123, while good, is not enough to give a modeler too much assistance in building one.  I would rather have seen the extra pages devoted to more M26 material, and give the M123 a publication of its own (its Vietnam service alone would make for a great book!).

Overall, I highly recommend this book.  Perhaps its biggest failing is timing.  My wife Kim was rather annoyed when I brought this book home, not because I had spent money, but rather because it came too late to help her build her Dragon Wagon!  I would not be surprised if there are other modelers out there who feel the same way.
