Home Front Transport - Vehicles of the UK Civil Defence Services 1938 to 1968

I am indebted to Alan House, author of "Home Front Transport - Vehicles of the UK Civil Defence Services 1938 to 1968" for sending me a copy of his book. Alan is a retired member of the fire and rescue service and has written a number of books.

His Home Front Transport book covers the various types of vehicles used by Civil Defence Services during the second world war and then post war by the Civil Defence Corps until it was disbanded in 1968. The book includes information on vehicles that were converted and those specifically manufactured for civil defence purposes. It's a fantastic book with over 300 pages packed with copious black-and-white and colour photographs.

The above book (ISBN 9780956119902) can be bought direct from the author for £9.75 plus postage – simply email the author at alanhouse.xhfrs@virginmedia.com
