DAVID FLETCHER

This volume tells of the difficult birth of a whole new weapon. From the schemes and plans of the mid-19th century to the introduction of the first tanks into service and their baptism of fire. The author tells of the experiments, the design and the early tanks and their use in the battlefield.

For most of World War II, British tank development remained faithful to the design philosophy inaugurated during World War I; but when the General Staff identified the need for a new heavy cruiser, the Cromwell Cruiser tank was designed. It soon proved itself the fastest and most successful tank deployed by the Allies.
