书籍简介

通用汽车公司生产的DUKW两栖车是有史以来非常成功的两栖军用车辆。这很大程度上归功于投入该项目的大量科学和工程人才。设计团队成员包括美洲杯帆船赛获奖者罗德·斯蒂芬斯、探险家兼环保主义者丹尼斯·普勒斯顿以及科学家兼工程师帕尔默·C·普特南。”

本书详细记录了这些车辆从概念设计到二战和朝鲜战争实战的研发和使用过程。书中收录了数十张珍贵的历史照片（其中许多从未公开），以及一些现存精美DUKW车辆的详细照片，深入探讨了这些标志性的装甲战车，并阐述了它们的历史。

The General Motors Corporation DUKW was without a doubt the greatest amphibious military vehicle ever constructed. This is due in large part to the enormous amount of scientific and engineering talent that was devoted to the project. Included in the design team were America’s Cup winner Rod Stephens, adventurer and environmentalist Dennis Puleston, and scientist and engineer Palmer C. Putnam. The DUKW was so widely used that Gen.

The book chronicles the development and use of these vehicles from concept to combat in WWII and Korea. Through dozens of archival photos, many never before published, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of surviving vehicles, these iconic armored fighting vehicles are explored, and their history is explained.

作者简介

大卫·道尔早期发表的作品刊登在面向历史军用车辆修复爱好者的期刊上。到1999年，他开始在相关领域的刊物上定期撰稿，文章也定期出现在美国、英国、法国和波兰的杂志上。

这些文章促使他开始撰写书籍，2003年出版了一部512页的美国军用车辆历史专著。此后，他已出版了超过175部著作，由多家出版社发行。这些书籍篇幅从仅有56页到接近1000页不等。

虽然他的大部分著作都涉及各种历史军事装备，包括飞机和军舰，但关于美国军用车辆的著作仍然是他相较擅长的领域。

2015 年 6 月，他荣获军事车辆保护协会颁发的令人垂涎的巴特·范德维恩奖，该奖项旨在表彰“为世界各地军事车辆的历史保护做出贡献的个人”。

David Doyle's earliest published works appeared in periodicals aimed at the hobby of historic military vehicle restoration. By 1999 this included regular features in leading publications related to that hobby, appearing regularly in U.S., English, French and Polish magazines.

Those articles led to writing books, the first of which, a 512-page volume on the history of US military vehicles, was commissioned in 2003. Since then over 175 of his books have been published by a variety of publishers. These books have ranged in size from a scant 56-pages to large works approaching 1,000 pages.

While most of these books concern a variety of historic military hardware, including aircraft and warships, the volumes on U.S. military vehicles, remain the genre with which he is most closely associated.

This recognition reached its pinnacle in June 2015, when he was honored to be presented the coveted Bart Vanderveen Award by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, which is given in recognition of "...the individual who has contributed the most to the historic preservation of military vehicles worldwide."
