Suspected sock master was recently blocked for a combination of file upload concerns and blatant WP:DUCK-style sockpuppeteering. Now, out of nowhere, this account has suddenly appeared to insert spam links to a self-published book (of which the owner of the earlier sock account is clearly the author) in articles all previously edited by Bofors40mm: compare article histories of Sparrow Force (link 1, link 2) and 79th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery (link 1, link 2).
