Tanks - AFV Armoured F... - Tankograd - Michael Franz, Jochen Vollert - US...Heavy, Motorized, 280mm, M65 Atomic Annie 2006.jpg

With the deployment in the 1950s of atomic weapons on both sides of the Cold War, all three branches (Army, Navy, Air Force) of the U.S. military sought to justify fielding nuclear weapons within their individual arsenals. For the U.S. Army, prior to the refinement of tactical nuclear missiles, that meant developing an atomic artillery piece. This weapon was the M-65 280mm Motorized Heavy Gun, also known as the Atomic Cannon.

May of 1950, the Watervliet Arsenal began designing the 280mm Gun T131 for the U.S. Army. This heavy, mobile, long-range gun was developed to fire the W-9 15 kiloton atomic 280mm Projectile T124. By the spring of 1951, the first T131 gun was mounted on the T72 Gun Carriage, and in October, 1952, three T131 guns were demonstrated to the U.S. public at Aberdeen Proving Ground. From 1951 to 1953, 20 guns were manufactured.

The weight of the gun and carriage was 94,000 lbs/42,582 kg, (47 tons). The length of the gun carriage was 38'-5" or 11.71 meters. The gun could be emplaced and set up for firing in approximately 12 minutes, and returned to the traveling mode in approximately 15 minutes. The publicly-acknowledged maximum range of the 280mm gun was 20 miles, hitting within 20 yards or less of the desired target. An Army veteran assigned to M-65s in Okinawa reported the actual maximum range was 35 miles.

In 1950, the Kenworth Motor Truck Company began the manufacture of the M-249 4x4 Heavy Gun-Lifting Front Truck and the M-250 4x4 Heavy Gun-Lifting Rear Truck, to transport the T131 Gun. From 1952 through 1953, 33 Front and 33 Rear Trucks were manufactured. Each truck was powered by a Continental AO-895-4 six-cylinder engine, with a maximum output of 375 hp and a top speed of 45 mph. The empty weight of the M-249 Front Truck was 37,950 lbs/17,191 kg (19 tons); the empty weight of the M-250 Rear Truck was 35,910 lbs/16,267 kg (18 tons).

The entire assembly of two trucks and one gun was designated the M-65, although the unofficial, popular name given this machine was "Atomic Annie." Total weight of the M-65 was 172,865 lbs/78,308 kg (86.4 tons). The two trucks were operated by two drivers, and the Front Truck driver could be given control of the brakes in both trucks. Communication between drivers was by a system of headset intercoms. Total length of the M-65 was 85'-0"/26 meters, and width was 10'-0"/3.12 meters. The 20 M-65s were deployed primarily in West Germany, with six units deployed in Okinawa. The M-65s were operational from 1953 to 1963, when they were replaced due to the availability of nuclear shells for the simpler, cheaper, more operationally flexible 8" howitzers. Most of the M-65s were scrapped, although a few have been preserved as museum pieces, such as at The Armored Fighting Vehicles Museum at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland, and at The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Tanks - AFV Armoure... - Tankograd - Jochen Vollert - Soviet Tank Transpo...MAZ-537G with MAZ-ChMZAP-5247G Semitrailer 2008.jpg

The design of the MAZ-537 series began during the early 1960s to produce a heavy load carrier and construction vehicle for use in remote areas. It is a further development of the MAZ-535 8x8 artillery tractor. Production of the MAZ-537 commenced in 1963 and it was first observed in 1964. Production of all variants was carried out at the Mink Motor Vehicle Plant. Most versions of the MAZ-537 are used as tank transporters. Despite it's age this heavy military vehicle is still in service with a number of countries, including Russia.

The MAZ-537 tank transporter can tow semi-trailers with medium and main battle tanks with a maximum weight of 50 000 kg both on roads and rugged terrain. It is still capable of towing any MBT currently in service with the Russian Army.

A forward control cab provides seating for driver and three passengers.

The MAZ-537 is powered by a standard tank engine, developing 525 hp. It is worth mentioning, that this engine had a short service life. Vehicle has a full-time all-wheel drive. There is a power assisted steering of front four wheels. Standard equipment includes an engine pre-heater, to assist starting in cold climate, and powerful cab heaters. A central tyre inflation system is fitted, to provide better traction over sand and soft ground.

From the MAZ-535/537 series the MAZ-543 evolved as a specialist carrier vehicle which was also used to carry numerous missile and rocket systems such as the SS-1 Scud series, the SS-12 Scaleboard and the SSC-3 coastal defense missile. In the early 80s the tank transporter version was succeeded by the KZKT-7428 Rusich.

Panzerwrecks 11 - Lee Archer - Normandy 2 (2011).jpg

The latest title in this expanding series is sub-titled: Normandy 2, as it continues extensive coverage of Panzer wrecks located in the Norman countryside after the great Allied invasion and break-out of the summer of 1944. The publishers have also changed this issues format somewhat, by providing panoramic images on the inner front and back covers, as fold-out panels. This allows the viewing of greater detail in each image, while keeping them as large as possible.

The book starts out, like others in the series, with a brief bit of text, which puts this volume in context with the rest of the series. The text also acknowledges the small army of researchers and enthusiasts who have made contributions to the content between the covers. Then, its on to the reason we all show up for the party: the photos!

The front inner fold-out opens with a familiar image of a Pz.Kpfw.IV and an Sd.Kfz.251 mounting the remnants of a 2cm KwK and MG34 taken from an SdKfz.222. Then, the reader is treated to17 pages of walk-around images depicting Pz.Kpfw.IVs in the field and at a collection point. These images are remarkable for the details they show of war-time AFVs; it is as if the photographer had modelers in mind when he made his exposures 66 years ago! These are followed by ten pages of photos depicting various SP guns (Marder III Ausf.M, StuG.III Ausf.G and 4.7cm PaK on Renault R35 chassis), and several more pages showing various armored and un-armored half-tracks. More images follow showing Pz.Kpfw.IVs, a StuG.IV and various Tiger IIs with early (so-called Porsche) turret. The next group of images show various Tiger Is, including an interesting sequence of one of these behemoths being loaded onto an unidentified flat-bed trailer.

Eight more pages cover a Bergepanther, complete with 2.Panzer-Division trident insignia; details of the winch compartment are shown in several photos. More SP guns (Marder III Ausf.M, Bison Ausf.H, Flakpanzer 38(t) and PaK40 on Hotchkiss chassis), a Beobachtungspanzer III, Sd.Kfz.9s, and two interesting close-ups of a Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.F, are followed by two panoramic images of a scrap-yard with all manner of AFVs scattered about (including those of the Allies). Individual vehicles in this group are detailed to include Marder IIIs and a Goliath demolition vehicle (is that a VW Beetle at far left in the photo on page 68?). Five pages follow covering derelict Panthers, followed by ten pages covering various Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma armored cars. Then, a photo of a German Panhard 178, is followed by several images depicting an armored (ex-French) Unic-Kegresse that mounts a 2cm FlaK38 behind an improvised shield. Various armored FlaK halftracks (Sd.Kfz.7 and 10) then follow, accompanied by two pages detailing the Radschlepper Ost wheeled tractor. An armored Panzerwerfer (Mule), a few shots of a Panther (including some internal stuff) is followed by an image of an Sd.Kfz.231 and finally, the inner fold-out, which shows another panoramic view of a vehicle scrap-yard.

Panzerwrecks 11 - Lee Archer - Normandy 2 (2011).pdf

In typical fashion, the images have been teased-out using computer software in order to show certain details, to include markings. The reproductive quality is, overall, excellent, especially considering that some images were not the best to begin with. Captions are often extensive and always quite informative, while also keeping to the Panzerwrecks tradition of including some light-hearted observations. In addition, the original captions, made by the persons on the spot all those years ago, are also included, where appropriate.

Altogether, this latest volume continues the quality trend started several years ago when this series began. There is much of interest to those enamored of late war German AFVs, while those who have a specific interest in the Normandy campaign, will not be disappointed. Fans of this series will certainly wish to add this new volume to their reference libraries, while those modelers who have never availed themselves of this outstanding resource, may wish to start here.

Concord 7509 - Carl Schulze - Warrior, British Com bat Vehicle Tracked (2001).jpg

The Warrior British Combat Vehicle Tracked (#7509) is another great addition to the Concord Mini Color Series by Carl Schulze. The 52 page book starts with a little history on the Warrior followed by a description of the basic infantry section Warrior and a listing of the units fielding the Warrior.

Then the variants of the Warrior are covered. They are; FV511 Infantry Command Vehicle, FV512 Mechanized Combat Repair Vehicle, FV513 Mechanized Recovery Vehicle (Repair) (MRV(R)), FV514 Mechanized Artillery Observation Vehicle (MAOV) and FV515 Battery Command Vehicle (BCV)

The following section details the Warrior deployment in the Gulf War, Bosnian UN deployment, IFOR & SFOR and the KFOR deployment. The final section is short but is related to the future of the Warrior and improvements and includes some pictures of the Desert Warrior which was produced for Kuwait.

Overall, the great pictures that you would expect of a Concord book. The photos are a mix of vehicles in actual operations with some detail closeups. 2 pages of color plates and a 1:35 scale 'centerfold' of the standard Warrior. The only thing that would make this perfect is a top deck walkaround. Must have for any Warrior aficionado.

Concord 1044 - Bob Morrison - Scorpion and the CVR (T) Family (1994).jpg

The evolution of the Scorpion family can be traced back to 1961, when the Royal Armoured Corps commenced a feasibility study into airportable replacements for the Saladin armoured car and Saracen personnel carrier.

By 1964 no suitable design had been found, but the proposed chassis of a tracked self propelled 105mm howitzer for the Royal Artillery was identified as a possible start point for a family of light armoured vehicles under the Armoured Vehicle Reconnaissance (AVR) banner.

The self propelled howitzer concept fell by the wayside, but the AVR project evolved into the Royal Armoured Corps Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (CVR) programme.
