WWII US Sherman Tank in Action
(Soft Cover)
Product Code: SS2048

Overview
By Ervin and Doyle.

The iconic American tank of World War II, the M4 Sherman was
known for its simple, reliable, and flexible design. Ten
different companies contributed to the total output of 50,000
units produced in a myriad of variations. Even after it went into
serial production in 1942 the Sherman was subject to almost
constant change and modification, based on lessons learned and
needs perceived on the battlefield.

The full story of the Shermans exploits would fill several
volumes, so this book focuses on the variants and sub-variants of
the Shermans used by US forces during WWII. The Shermans that
rolled off the assembly lines in 1945 bore little resemblance to
the M4s produced in 1942, and this volume chronicles each major
model of the Sherman everywhere the American soldier fought.

Augmenting the nearly 200 period photos, many of them in rare
original color, a host of exquisitely rendered line drawings
illustrating the subtle variations in hull, turret, and weapons,
used on these famed armored fighting vehicles and color profiles.
