With production in excess of 55,000 the Sherman tank was eventually
in service with most Allied armies of the Second World War and by
the time of the Normandy landings was the mainstay of Britain\'s
armoured battalions. In his second book in the TankCraft series,
Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos and extensively researched,
exquisitely presented colour illustrations to cover the Sherman
tanks used by the units of the Royal Armoured Corps and the Royal
Marines during the fighting in northern France.
As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this
work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products,
complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted
models in various scales. Technical details as well as
modifications introduced during production and in the field are
also explained as is the complex system of markings employed by
British armoured regiments.
This book will give the modeller all the information and knowledge
required to recreate an authentic miniature representation of the
tanks that fought from the beaches of Normandy, through the battles
for Caen and on to killing fields of Falaise.
