The Pershing was the American answer to the famous German Panther and Tiger tanks. This book is a complete photo history of the mighty Pershing and its variants. In many ways, the M26 Pershing was the most advanced and most powerful tank fielded by the US military during the Second World War. The prototype T26 "heavy" tank design was developed to answer the threat of the German Panther and Tiger tanks. Unfortunately for US Army tankers, the T26 tank wasn't ready for field use until 1945. The T26, specifically the E3 variant, was adopted and standardised as the M26 "Pershing" in March 1945. While seeing only limited combat during WWII, the M26 would be extensively used by the Army and Marines in Korea. This pictorial history of the Pershing includes the M26/T26E3, T26E1, T26E4, and T26E2/M45. The book includes almost 300 vintage and recent photographs, colour profiles, and detailed line drawings. AUTHOR: David Doyle is the author of over 200 books on military subjects, and his books about armored vehicles are noted for their inclusion of previously unpublished vintage imagery and their carefully researched text and captions. SELLING POINTS: . Explains and explores the story of the most powerful US tank to see combat in WWII . Combines period images with recent photos of preserved examples . Also includes detailed line drawings 295 colour and b/w photographs
