    The book starts with a table containing howitzer specifications and on the next page we can read one paragraph of text with a history of the weapon. Then we get six historical photos of the German army howitzers during WW2 - two of those pictures are in color, the rest are black & white.

    On following pages are photos of two exhibits from Warsaw Museum of Polish Army. One of them is original le.F.H. 18, and the other is modified to le.F.H. 18M standard (added muzzle brake). All details of the howitzer are photographed at various angles on close-up photos, but authors didn't forget about several good quality general views of the whole gun. There are both color and black and white photos included - in total book contains 38 color and 51 b&w photos.
