Post by rctiger1 »

:D Hello to everyone
On this occasion I am asking for help re the best Photo coverage books on AMERICAN ARMOR IN General and Individual Tank Books covering both the Sherman & Stuart Family of Tanks
I have undertaken many searches and found some titles which I have ordered 2 x Images Of War Covering the SHERMAN and one or two others Including one on the STUART Tanks? to my surprise their did not seem to be many books covering the Stuart Both US & Other countries Stuarts?
so any suggestions as to top notch titles appreciated.I am also looking for 1 or 2 Really good -books covering US Armor in general IE Covering all main types used By US & Allies

many thanks In advance

all the best Steve :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hello Again
Really nice to hear from you
bit of a coincidence I was looking at them only yesterday and thinking they were a bit pricey but I assume without looking they may have being the original editions.Are the new editions available now or in the near future

all the best Steve

Hi Tom
have just beng doing some sniffing around,and afraid to say , and not for the first time that these new editions are very poor quality when compared to the originals.
You see this very often now a days,very disappointing I found it with Tigers in combat 1&2 and others..
actually gave them away so dissapointed. luckily I do see the STUART TANK Book 1992 so will go for broke and buy the original of this book,really not worth buying photo copy standard of books :-<

cheers Steve :thumbup: :thumbup:
