gwb123 Posted March 28, 2015 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2015 If you go into to the Book Review section of the Forum, go up to the SEARCH bar in the upper right, and use the down arrow for "Search This Forum" you can find recommendations for specific topics. Here is a thread we had awhile back on Vietnam era resources: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/97655-info-about-the-best-book-about-vietnam-war/?hl=mcduff&do=findComment&comment=724682 Hope that helps.

navrocky Posted April 11, 2015 Share #9 Posted April 11, 2015 got the keller books and love them! thanks Can you tell me what the titles are of these books? I did a search under "keller books" and got no where. I have numerous patch books including Pete Morgan's but I don't think I have the "Keller Books." Thanks for your aid.

JasonT Posted April 12, 2015 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2015 Hans De Bree's book is also great - it doesn't show every patch made, but is excellent at showing in great detail all the styles of WW2 patch embroidery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
