Tank Destroyer, Achilles and M10: British Army Anti-Tank Units, Western Europe, 1944–1945 (Tankcraft) by Dennis Oliver
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 13 MB
Overview: A guide that blends the history behind this British World War II tank with resources for military vehicle modeling enthusiasts.
In this heavily illustrated volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver focuses on the Achilles—the British variant of the American M10—which was one of the most important Allied tank destroyers of the Second World War. It played a key role in the armored battles fought on the Western Front, in particular in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy.
Built on an adapted Sherman chassis, with sloped armor, an open-topped turret and powerful 17-pounder gun, it was designed to counter the threat posed by the formidable panzers deployed by the German army toward the end of the conflict, in particular the Panther and Tiger tanks.
The book covers the design and operational history of the Achilles in close detail, using rare archive photographs and meticulously researched color illustrations, as well as a detailed, authoritative text.
