| Description: |
Although, to the casual eye, all British tanks of World War I look much the same, the Mark V has a strong claim to be the tank that won the Great War. This title examines the technological developments that made this tank excel and the reasons why it gave the British the upper hand over the Germans and why it was adopted by the US Tank Corps. |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
