Produktinformationen zu „Patton Tanks (ePub)“
The military historian and tank expert examines the evolution of the Patton tank through archival photographs across four decades of armored warfare.
In the early Cold War years, a tank more powerful than the Sherman or Pershing was needed. The first Patton tanks-the M46s-were converted Pershings which saw service in Korea. The M47, with a more effective 90mm gun and turret, was then developed to counter the Soviet military threat. Later, the diesel-powered M48A3 was used by the US Marine Corps and US Army in South Vietnam.
Further Patton models emerged in the coming decades, including the diesel-powered M60 series with its British-designed 105mm gun. Pattons were also made into specialist vehicles, including anti-aircraft, flame throwers, recovery and combat engineer vehicles. Other countries, notably Israel, made their own modifications to their M48s as well. In this volume full of superbly detailed wartime photographs, American tank expert Michael Green discusses all of these variations and their uses in combat zones around the world.
