French Military Dinky Toys are very collectable and make an excellent standalone collection or addition to a collection of their British counterparts.
This book details the Army, Navy and Air Force Dinky Toys made or issued in France with examples given of each model and its box where applicable. It includes a list of the models and some relevant extracts from French catalogues.
Alan Spree gives an overall view of each model produced, including information on details such as hub types, axle sizes, casting differences, with or without a driver, baseplate markings, with or without windows and different tyre types. The models are shown in the original numerical order.
Alan Spree is the great-grandson of the postcard publisher John Henry Spree. Alan was born in Nottingham and went to school in Bilborough before moving to Portsmouth and growing up there. His first job was at Portsmouth Dockyard then he gained a degree in Civil Engineering and became a professionally qualified Civil Engineer. He worked with the Department of Environment and Preston City Council before retirement in Spain.
