SURVIVOR SERIES for Jerry Grandenetti covers - Round 8 (Final Round)

[MusterMark]

Huh? individual combat situations like GIC#76 happened all the time, especially on the eastern front in Russia, without armor piercing artillery it took desperate measures to disable a tank, but it had to be done. A counter tactic that a tank commander would use if he knew he needed to eliminate a man in a foxhole would be to ride up to the foxhole fast and immediately start spinning the tank in a fast circle thereby covering the hole and grounding the infantryman into oblivion.

 

Thanks.

I can't help being British. It's bound to occur to me.

 

It's a dilemma that must crop up quite frequently in wars, the more you think about it. An incredibly stressful situation.

 

Especially, say, if you're somewhere like a Pacific island, where you might also have come down with amoebic dysentery.

 

Why is "being British" bound to occur to you?!

As mentioned , the pouring sweat covers are brilliant ! but it does not necessarily mean that an enemy engagement was near, bugs , blackflies, mosquitos etc were so horrific on Guadalcanal that to just to be on guard duty in a quite sector could be insufferable, the Japanese had as many casualties from disease as from combat on Guadalcanal.

Sounds like quite the paradise, eh?!

That's true about the prominent signature. I don't recall seeing his signature on any other books, for some reason.

Andy - great job on this project!

 

The corpus of Grandenetti's work is proof that he's one of the all time war genre cover artists and this survivor series pays homage to this legend.

 

Best,
