We received some more material on what to expect from Plastic Invasion's new collaboration with Safar Publishing & their new book, "Easy Company in Normandy: Study of Uniforms and Equipment." We look closer—and yes, we are doing just that—at the macro photography of the artefacts of "Easy Company" to see the finer details of this book.
You do not normally see this type of detail outside specialist publications on single subject objects. Photography like this is the norm in this book.
One of the reasons behind creating this book was to show you the finer details of these pieces. The team has used some excellent macro-style photography to show you the objects in such detail you can almost perceive them in your hands. The look of the metal, the feel of the wood and cloth—it all comes across here in the photography of these items.
Features of the Book:
- Detailed Photographic Documentation: Over 300 high-resolution photographs showcasing every detail of the equipment.
- Expert Analysis: Context and historical insights into each item.
- Premium Quality: Hardback edition, featuring 300+ pages of premium matte paper to enhance the visual presentation.
- Exclusive Content: Never-before-seen artefacts from private collections.

Many of these items are one-of-a-kind, making this book a visual archive of some of the rarest Airborne gear in existence.
When the authors set out to create this book, they had one goal: to bring history closer than ever before. Not just through words—but through incredible detail that makes every artefact feel alive.
High-resolution and macro photography is used throughout, capturing original WWII items exactly as a soldier would have seen them. Every scratch on a helmet, every crease in a uniform, every mark left by history—preserved in the sharpest detail possible.
But what truly sets this book apart is the collection behind it. These aren’t museum displays behind glass—these are real, battlefield-used artefacts, carried by the men of Easy Company.
The book provides the reader with the most comprehensive photographic study of US Airborne uniforms and equipment from the Normandy campaign. It is a richly illustrated, intimate look at the gear that defined the men of the 101st Airborne Division during one of World War II's most iconic operations.
