Description
British Battle Tanks: American-made World War II Tanks by David Fletcher and Steven J. Zaloga is a detailed study of the American tanks used by the British during World War II. Initially viewed with skepticism, these tanks were eventually adopted for their reliability and simplicity of maintenance. The book explores how the number of American tanks in British service increased significantly, leading to them becoming virtually dominant on the battlefield. It also delves into specific types of tanks, such as the T14 and M26 Pershing, which were supplied but never used by the British. This third installment in a three-part series on British Battle Tanks provides a comprehensive look at the American-made tanks that played a significant role in World War II.
