V.C., do you have this book yet? Very well done, even covers a few of the horse drawn Hook and Ladders.
I've seen it at the local hobby shop but don't have it. Here's some more shots of my 1:50 scale, 1973 vintage, American LaFrance ladder truck (Corgi #1143)
According to the Manfred Gihl book the real thing was made between 1947 and 1956. Interestingly enough, the two German fire engine books I have are signed by the author and inscribed to the books' original owner, a Buena Park, CA fire captain. And this is something I'd like to see, the Los Angeles Fire Department Museum also has a large collection of toy fire engines.
