Nice Link
 
These look like the drawings used in magazines like Popular Mechanics here in the states.

Looked at a few of the drawing on the site already and can see that I will be going through it in detail. Have you noticed is it mostly British information or are there images of Allied equipment as well?

Cheers

Those images,I'm pretty sure,are from the "London Illustrated News" which Popular Mechanics used to reprint from with their permission.There were all kinds of illustrations done like this in that great news,but it's tough to find these magazines in libraries.Hope more people put some of these illustrations on!

Thanks for the reminder of the London Illustrated News, I have 10 volume large format reprint set of books. But the quality on the website link is better than the book reprints.
