Re: THEY ALSO SERVED

Yes, good book. Great selection photos and a TON of textual information. Really comprehensive. One caveat, the quality of the photo reproduction varies more than the usual FAJ publication. There are some blue-toned color shots here, some darker shots there. (Curiously, some of the darker shots include contemporary photographs, suggesting an oops in the exposure levels during production.)

Re: THEY ALSO SERVED

I agree a great book, just got a box full via the UPS folks. I was especially interested in the PONYNJ part about the ARFF units and the volunteer depts still serving in NYC. Little pricy, but worth it.
