This is the complete illustrated history of British, American and Commonwealth tanks, gun motor carriages and special purpose vehicles 1939-45, and has not been bettered since first publication in 1969. It gives a detailed history of each type, plus full pictorial coverage of the many variants, sometimes running into dozens, which were produced on each chassis. Every tank type produced in Britain, the united States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand is included and described in full – more than 2,000 vehicles in all. Concise specifications, comparative scale drawings and over 500 photographs, along with appendices detailing with guns, engines and suspension systems make this book an indispensable source of authoritative reference.
