Technical tank books

[Anthony Pigott]

Hello

What would people recommend? I'm thinking of technical stuff, diagrams, pictures, engineering, etc., rather than their use in battle and stories of the crews. Thanks.

For British tanks I would recommend anything by David Flet5cher, the Tank Museum's librarian. Maxwell Hundleby & Rainer Strasheim The German A7V Tank and the Captured BritishMark IV Tanks of World War 1 (Foulis, 1990) is also excellent.

Anthony,

There are some good general arrangement drawings and a table of tank details (giving dimensions, engines, transmission, trench crossing capacity, etc.) in D Fletcher, Landships: British Tanks in the First World War, HMSO, 1984.

Hope this helps.

With best wishes,

David
