CHOBHAM ARMOUR: Cold War British Armoured Vehicle Development

1-234830

Explains the development of the British Cold War main battle tanks, including the Centurion, Chieftain, Challenger, and many other wheeled and tracked armour vehicles that served the British Army of The Rhine. The vehicles developed at the Chertsey site were never used for their intended purpose on the plains of North-west Germany, but have proved their worth in British operations in places like Korea, Bosnia, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in the hands of other users around the world. Fully illustrated with photographs, schemes and drawings, including some that have never been published before, this is a detailed overview of the development of all post-war British armored vehicles.
