## Description

The A13 Mk. I was the first British Cruiser tank to use the Christie suspension system and set the style for all other Cruisers built in World War II. Together with the improved Mk. II and Mk. IIA it played an important part in the battles in France in 1940 and North Africa in 1941. This book covers its development, production and service, filling a long-neglected gap in the history of British armored vehicles. It includes over 140 period black and white photos from archives and private collections, many never before published, 7pp 1/35th scale plans, 3 pp technical drawings and sketches, and 27 profusely researched full-color plates. Its author has researched British AFVs for 40 years and has contributed many articles to professional military and modeling magazines.

Review: Excellent read indeed Must have very detialed - Love the detail narrative and great photos and drawing an armor modeler great resource guide on British A13 Cruiser tank. Also buy the same author book on British A9/10 Cruiser tanks
Review: Outstanding Coverage of a Pioneer Series of Cruiser Tanks - British Cruiser Tank A13 Mk.I and Mk.II is beyond question the finest work on this series of vehicles ever published. As an author on armour myself and a fervent reader on the topic I can only say that this book sets the standard on coverage. There are over 140 photos, most unpublished and all described in detail. There are seven 1/35 scale drawings of the various marks, all exact and precise. There are also 27 full colour plates illustrating vehicles from the BEF in France in 1940 at the vehicle debut through use in Britain to the end of operational use in North Africa. There are also many interesting photos of these vehicles in German use both in France, Germany and Russia. All in all a book worth every penny it costs.
