Summary: Quick Reference
Comment: Good quick reference to identifing current authorized insignia. Does not cover the insignia of decommisioned units that can be found in the ASMIC organizations libraries. Has a good index to find motto's of units as well.

Summary: U.S.ARMY HERALDIC CRESTS
Comment: VERY GOOD AND HELPFUL REFERENCE FOR AS FAR AS IT GOES. UNFORTUNATELY IT DEALS WITH 'AUTHORIZED' AND DOES NOT HAVE REFERENCES TO ANY OUT-OF-DATE DISTINCTIVE UNIT INSIGNIA. IN MY LIMITED COLLECTION I HAVE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES THAT DO NOT APPEAR IN THIS BOOK AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD. THIS INCLUDES MOST OF THE D.I.'s FOR THE ARMY AIR FORCES. I AM JUST AS INTERESTED IN THE OLDER, PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED AND/OR USED D.I.'s. ANOTHER FEATURE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WOULD BE A TIMELINE IN THE USE OF THE VARIOUS FASTENING METHODS USED.

AGAIN, A VERY HELPFUL BOOK BUT LIMITED IN SCOPE.

Rating: 5
Summary: The most comprehensive book on the subject.
Comment: Catalogs over 3,000 distinctive insignia, with full-color illustrations, descriptions, translations of mottos, and other useful information. A few darker DI's do not photograph well but enough detail can be seen to identify them. It is hoped this minor fault will be corrected in future editions of this most useful book.
