The Anti-Tank Rifle - Bog af Steven J. (Author) Zaloga - Paperback

The Anti-Tank Rifle - Bog af Steven J. (Author) Zaloga - Paperback

The emergence of the tank in World War I led to the development of the first infantry weapons to defend against tanks. Anti-tank rifles became commonplace in the inter-war years and in the early campaigns of World War II in Poland and the Battle of France, which saw renewed use in the form of the British .55in Boys anti-tank rifle--also used by the US Marine Corps in the Pacific. The French campaign made it clear that the day of the anti-tank rifle was ending due to the increasing thickness of tank..

Mark V Tank - David Fletcher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Mark V Tank - David Fletcher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Although, to the casual eye, all British tanks of World War I look much the same, the Mark V is quite outstanding and has a strong claim to be the tank that won the Great War. In this title, renowned tank expert David Fletcher examines the technological developments that made this tank excel where others had failed, and the reasons why it gave the British the upper hand over the Germans on the battlefield and why it was adopted by the US Tank Corps. Accompanied by detailed artwork showing the design changes that allowed the Mark V to breach the widest German trenches, this title is an excellent resource for the study of the armour of World War I.

Sherman Medium Tank 1942–45 - Steven Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sherman Medium Tank 1942–45 - Steven Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern it was better than most of the tanks Britain had to offer. The American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 that it had been hailed widely as ''the best tank on the battlefield today''. However, by the time of the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case. The new heavy tanks being produced by the Germans were able to outclass the Sherman in both armour and armament. This title describes the development and operational use of the Sherman medium tank throughout World War II and beyond.

T-64 Battle Tank - Steven J. Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

T-64 Battle Tank - Steven J. Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An in-depth illustrated study of the T-64 Battle Tank, the Soviet Union''s most secret and controversial Cold War weapon. The T-64 tank was the most revolutionary design of the whole Cold War, designed to provide the firepower and armour protection of a heavy tank in a medium-weight design. It pioneered a host of new technologies including laminate armour, stereoscopic tank rangefinders, opposed-piston engines, smooth-bore tank guns with discarding sabot ammunition, and gun-fired guided projectiles. These impressive features meant that the Russians were loath to part with the secrets of the design, and the T-64 was the only Soviet tank type of the Cold War that was never exported. Written by an armour expert, this detailed technical history sheds light on the secrets behind the Cold War’s most controversial tank, revealing how its highly advanced technologies proved to be both a blessing and a curse.

M103 Heavy Tank 1950–74 - Kenneth W. Estes - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

M103 Heavy Tank 1950–74 - Kenneth W. Estes - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The T43 design represented the pinnacle of U.S. Army tank engineering of the late 1940s. The heavy tank proved fairly popular with its crews, who above all respected the powerful armament it carried. The outbreak of war in Korea brought a rush order in December 1950 which led to a complete production run of 300 vehicles. After 1951, the Marine Corps alone retained confidence in the heavy tank program, investing its scarce funds in the improvements necessary to bring about its fielding after a hurried production run in midst of the ''tank crisis'' of the year 1950-51. The eventual retirement of the M103 in 1972, over 20 years after manufacture and after 14 years of operational service, demonstrated the soundness of its engineering. It may have been the unwanted ''ugly duckling'' of the Army, which refrained from naming the M103 alone of all its postwar tanks. For the Marine Corps, it served the purpose defined for it in 1949 until the automotive and weapons technology of the United States could produce viable alternatives.

BT Fast Tank - Steven J. (author) Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

BT Fast Tank - Steven J. (author) Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

When the Red Army needed to mechanize its cavalry branch in the 1930s, the BT fast tank was its solution. Based on the American Christie high-speed tank, the Red Army began a program to adapt the design to its own needs. Early versions were mechanically unreliable and poorly armed but by the mid-1930s, the BT-5 emerged, armed with an excellent dual-purpose 45mm gun. It saw its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War in 1937 and was later used in the border battles with the Japanese Kwangtung Army in the late 1930s. The final production series, the BT-7, was the most refined version of the family.One of the most common types in Red Army service in the first years of the Second World War, BT tanks saw extensive combat in Poland, Finland, and the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 and latterly during the 1945 campaign against the Japanese in Manchuria – this is the story of their design and development history.
