Alan House was Deputy Chief Officer of Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service, and work on his previous books about the fire service and fire engines generated an interest in the Civil Defence organisation. This book focuses on the types of vehicles pressed into service, converted or specifically manufactured for civil defence purposes and how they were to be used. Eight appendices include such matters as vehicle lighting, livery and identification, Police experimental mobile columns and Thames ambulance ships.

Soft cover, A4 format, 305 pages, 380 illustrations mostly in black & white
