From the employment of the French Renault FT and British Mark V during their involvement in World War I, the United States branched out with its own indigenous designs, including the M1 Cavalry Car and the M2 Light and Medium tanks, the precursors to the Stuart and Grant tanks of World War II. Tank designers in this period faced unique challenges, and the story of early American armor is littered with failures among the successes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing previously unpublished photos and fully illustrated throughout, \u003ci\u003e Early American Armor (1): Tanks 1916-40\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in American armor, or in the development of tank design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472818072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.10w x 0.20d","brand":"Steven J.
