The two battles at El Alamein in July and October to November 1942 tested men and equipment to the limit and were among the first major actions where Allied intelligence and all-arms planning proved decisive. This volume pairs a synopsis of the fighting with a modeler's look at four machines involved: the Crusader, the Panzer III, the Curtiss P-40E and the Messerschmitt Bf 109E. By Ben Skipper.
