About this title

Synopsis

Tanks and armored fighting vehicles have become increasingly more sophisticated since their introduction at the beginning of the twentieth century. Tanks of World War II examines the design and specifications of these fearsome fighting machines.

From light tanks such as the Whippet and M3 Stuart to heavy tanks such as the Tiger and Maus, this book profiles 35 tanks and armored fighting vehicles that were in service during World War II, including self-propelled guns and personnel carriers.

Each vehicle is presented in a unique sevenview format, showing not only the left and right profiles, as well as top and front views, but also the view from the rear and from below.

These multiple views reveal the position of key elements of the vehicle’s design including the turret, armor, and armament. The spectacularly detailed digital artworks, created in 3D then rendered as elevations, have never been available in book form before now.

Published here alongside informed text, archive photography, and full specifications, these unique artworks make this appealing book a must for modelers and military buffs alike.
