The definitive study of British light tanks of the Second World War.
Drawing upon a vast and comprehensive body of archival information and research, David Fletcher explores the technical characteristics and combat performance of the Mark VI and all the variants that preceded it. The type was truly ubiquitous, equipping the British Army in France, the Western Desert regions, Norway, Sumatra, Persia and India.
The book discusses various experiments and improvisations carried out on the design of these tanks, as well as the experimental Lloyd airborne light tank of 1942, which has a number of features in common with the better-known Vickers-Armstrongs designs.
Augmented by original photographs and technical drawings, this compact guide is essential for anybody interested in the development of British armoured vehicles.
