Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Panzer Tracts No. 7-1 - Panzerjaeger (3.7 cm Tak to Pz.Sfl.Ic) development and employment from 1927 to 1941Now for the first time we present an accurate detailed history of the creation, production, and combat action of these famous tank destroyers. This first volume covers the initial attempts to create chassis specifically designed for self-propelled anti-tank guns (which didnt get into mass production) and the resulting makeshift conversions on available armored chassis that had to be used in combat. Altogether 12 different projects are covered starting with the real Zwischenloesung, Krupp L.S.K., L.Tr.Sfl., 3.7 cm and 7.5 cm Sfl., Pz.Sfl.II, 8.8 cm Flak 18 Sfl., Pz.Sfl.IVa, Pz.Jaeg.I, 4.7 cm Pak(t) auf Pz.Kpfw.35R, and ending with the rare trial Pz.Sfl.Ia and Pz.Sfl.Ic. New as-built drawings - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms - were created for both production series of the 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Pz.Kpfw.I. This 72 page book is heavily illustrated with 17 scale drawings and 67 clear/rare large-format photos.

Italian Light Tanks
Author: Filippo Cappellano
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780964595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
The Italian army, unlike those of the British and French, did not use tanks in combat during World War I and, by November 1918, only one training unit equipped with French Schneider and Renault tanks had been formed. Consequently, during the 1920s the Italian army had just one single tank type in its armoured inventory – the Fiat 3000. Only in 1927 was the first tank unit formed as a branch of the infantry and not as an independent organization, while the cavalry rejected the idea of both tanks and armoured cars and decided to stand by the use of horses for its mounted units. Between 1933 and March 1939, a further 2,724 CV 33 / L 3 tanks were built, 1,216 of which were exported all over the world. By the time Italy entered the war in June 1940, the army had 1,284 light tanks, 855 of which were in combat units, including three armoured divisions. Variants of the CV 33 / L 3 tanks included flame-throwers, bridge-layers, recovery vehicles, and a radio command tank. Some L 3 tanks were still in use in 1945, by both the Germans and the German-allied Italian units of the Repubblica Sociale.

Italian Armoured & Reconnaissance Cars 1911–45
Author: Filippo Cappellano
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472824350
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
The first Italian armoured cars were used in the war in Libya in 1911-12 against the Ottoman Empire. With few tanks being developed, the Italians relied instead on the development of more mobile armoured cars like the Ansaldo Lancia 1 Z, during World War I, but post-war the army, focusing on the Alpine battlegrounds of Italy's northern borders, did not consider armoured cars suitable for reconnaissance duties. The experience of the Spanish Civil War would provide the much needed last push for the Italians to develop modern armoured cars. The result were the famous AB 41-43 models, which fought against the British in North Africa and Marshall Tito's forces in Yugoslavia, along with other vehicles such as the AS 36 light armoured car. Using detailed colour plates and contemporary photographs, this book examines the development of the Italian armoured car in the two world wars and the inter-war years, from the deserts of North Africa to the slopes of the Alps.

Myasishchev M-4 And 3M
Author: Yefim Gordon
Publisher: Schiffer Military History
ISBN: 9780764361821
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
When the Myasishchev design bureau was reborn in 1951, it was immediately tasked with creating a high-speed strategic bomber to balance the threat posed by NATO's heavy bombers, notably the B-52. Designated M-4 and code-named "Bison" by NATO, the new four-turbojet bomber was developed within an incredibly short time--just one year. It made use of many innovative features, including a bicycle landing gear, and was designed around the most powerful jet engine of the day. It became the progenitor of a small family of bombers and refueling tankers, including the much-improved 3M and its versions. Many of the intended versions never materialized, and the Bison had its share of problems, but it came at just the right time, providing a valuable nuclear deterrent, and remained in service for 40 years until retired in compliance with the START treaty. The book charts the first Soviet strategic jet bomber's development and operational history. It includes the story of how the 3M was adapted to carry components of the Energiya/Buran space transport system as the VM-T Atlant outsize cargo transporter.

Pages : 72
Book Description
Panzer Tracts No. 5-1 - Panzerkampfwagen ?Panther?Ausf.D with Versuchs-Serie Panther, Fgst.Nr.V2We spent hundreds of hours accurately measuring survivors and hundreds of days drawing at full-scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Hundreds of research hours went into finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. Many of these newly discovered details would remain ?hidden? if printed as 1/35th scale overview drawings. Therefore, we have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details on components; while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Panther. We also created ?flat-plane? drawings of many components to aid modelers make accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at angle. This 72 page book is heavily illustrated with over 100 scale drawings, 11 original drawings, and 44 clear/rare large-format photos.
