Description: Introduced in 1917, the Renault FT-17
and its American-built copy, the M1917, revolutionized tank
design. The vehicle's rotating turret, rear-engine,
driver-forward design are characteristics of the most advanced
tanks even today. This volume presents a careful study of the
details and variations of this innovative vehicle, inside and
out. Two-hundred thirty-seven photographs reveal the intimacies
of no fewer than 14 of the finest surviving examples of these
machines, preserved on three different continents. Nine detailed
line drawings supplement the photos and comprehensive captions.
