Средний танк M 4 Шерман (Шерман.История американского среднего танка).
The M4 Sherman medium tank was the mainstay of the American and British armored forces in World War II. From its introduction in 1942 until the production line closed in the second half of 1945, tens of thousands of these versatile armored fighting vehicles were produced. In addition to the basic tank, which itself went through numerous modifications during its three year production run, many more Sherman variants were produced. The M4 was adapted for use as armored artillery, self-propelled antiaircraft artillery, tank destroyers, cargo and personnel carriers, and a vast array of specialized armored combat engineer vehicles. As a result of the vast numbers of operational M4s still in service at the end of World War II, the Sherman soldiered on around the world for decades. Indeed, the basic design was so sound and durable that the Israeli Army still had some in use in the 1973 Yom-Kippur War. Heavily modified with a modem, high velocity 75mm gun it was dubbed the Super Sherman. This massive, heavily illustrated book is, without doubt, the definitive work on its subject.
Any Shermanholic without this title in their library are simply kidding themselves.
Absolute stunning volume on the Sherman and every major and minor vehicle based on the Sherman chassis.
Many excellent photographs of all vehicles covered including 1/48 plans of the major variants with detailed text descriptions.
