Just getting started collecting 28mm for this era. Can you please recommend a reliable uniform guide for USMC and US Army in Vietnam? In color is preferred. Thank you. |

My go to book would be: "Vietnam: US Uniforms in color photographs" by Kevin Lyles from The Crow Press – Europa Militaria Special No 3 All branches with uniform reconstruction by year. Also by Kevin Lyles "US Infantry Vietnam" from Concord Publication Company. Both reproductions and actual color photographs for the first 32 pages of a 64 page magazine type book. |

Remember that any soldier serving in the Central Highlands should be liberally dusted with red clay. B |

Another vote for the Concord Publishing books…it's an excellent guide. |
