THE DARK AGE OF TANKS: Britain's Lost Armour, 1945-1970

2-223310

For 30 years after WWII, the British army entered a period of intense development to use cutting-edge technology to create weapons that could crush the Soviet Union's armed forces, all the while fighting against the demands of Her Majesty's Treasury. The Army entertained ideas such as micro-tanks of about 20 tons in weight with two-man crews, massive 183mm anti-tank guns, devastating rocket artillery, colossal anti-tank guided missiles, and ended up on the cusp of building hover tanks. Contains 50 black and white illustrations.
