MMP Books 49111 Camera ON 29 2 cm Flak 38 and Flakvierling 38 EN is an exceptional photographic album by Alan Ranger, constituting the thirty-ninth volume in the renowned "Camera ON" series published by MMP Books/Stratus. The publication contains 72 pages, including as many as 32 color pages, and was released in January 2023. It is a must-have for every military history enthusiast of World War II, modeler, and historical reenactor.

The album focuses on the German anti-aircraft gun 2 cm Flak 38 and its quadruple-barrel variant Flakvierling 38. This weapon was indispensable during World War II (1939–1945), used mainly by German forces – Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine – on all fronts of the conflict: from North Africa, through the Eastern Front, to Western Europe. Despite a temporary demand for larger caliber weapons, the 2 cm Flak 38 remained in service throughout the war and even longer – its use was recorded even in the 1970s in several other countries.

The book is published in English and serves as a rich source of over 140 original photographs, often taken by soldiers on the front lines, allowing us to see the Flak 38 and Flakvierling 38 both through the eyes of those fighting and during daily maintenance tasks. These are not studio photographs, but authentic documentary records from the battlefield and frontline life. This makes the publication a valuable resource for modelers seeking to faithfully recreate weapon details, dioramas, or crews.
