Tanks - AFV Armoured Fightin... - T. J. OMalley, Ray Hutchins - Fighting Vehi...l Carriers Infantry Fighting Vehicles 1996.jpg

Compared to the tank, the armoured personnel carrier (APC) and the infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) have had a brief history. During the Great War a few visionaries had the notion of using armoured vehicles to transport soldiers around the battlefield and the first tanks were able to carry a few infantrymen, But it was not until the 1930s that the writings of armoured warfare prophets Fuller and Liddell Hart led to the first dedicated 'battlefield taxis'. Both men forecast that future armoured warfare would involve not just tanks but specialised armoured vehicles to transport the support arms upon which the tanks would depend and with whom they would co-operate. The infantry needed something better than their leg-power or roadbound trucks to maintain contact with the mobile armoured spearheads that Liddell Hart and Fuller foresaw.

Tanks Illustrated 03 - Steven J. Zaloga - Israeli Tanks and Combat Vehicles (1985).jpg

No army since the Second World War has had as much experience or shown more skill in tank warfare than Israel's Zahal. The 1956, 1967 and 1973 wars in the Middle East provided textbook examples of superior mechanized tactics. This photographic survey is intended to provide a glimpse of the wide range of equipment used by the Israeli armoured force during these wars.
The Israeli armoured force had modest beginnings in the 1948 War of Independence. The original armoured vehicles were improvised armoured lorries cobbled together in clandestine workshops by the Haganah and other militias. Also, Israeli purchasing agents scoured old European battlefields and scrap-yards looking for military equipment that could be smuggled into Israel. A handful of old Hotchkiss tanks were found in France, and formed the original Israeli tank unit. France remained the primary supplier of armoured vehicles to Israel throughout 1956. Much of this equipment was ex-Lend Lease originally supplied by the United States, such as Sherman tanks and M3 and M5 half-tracks. Finally, before the outbreak of the 1956 war, France began to supply new armoured vehicles such as AMX-13 light tanks. Besides the French supplies, Israel also managed to scrape together additional vehicles located in European and Asian scrap-yards and renovate them in Israel. The ability of Israeli Ordnance teams to modernize and rebuild old hulks was in many ways as remarkable as the battlefield skills of the tankers.
It is difficult with hindsight to realize that the Israeli Armoured Corps was held in less than favourable light until the 1956 campaign. The 1948 war had been won by infantry and motorized infantry, and the influence of tanks was negligible. However, the brilliant success of tank units in 1956 marked a fundamental shift in Zahal, with the Armoured Force soon becoming the dominant element in the army. Indeed, Zahal is more heavily mechanized on a percentage basis than practically any other army today. Political fortunes changed in the wake of the 1956 war, with the de Gaulle government leaning more towards traditional Arab interests and ceasing to become a major arms supplier to Israel. Britain reversed its previous policy and agreed to sell Israel Centurion tanks, which was a critical step in the modernization of Zahal. But it was not until the US government, on the eve of the 1967 war, decided to permit the sale of arms to Israel that a relatively constant flow of equipment became available, continuing to this day. Nevertheless, Israel has a vigorous programme not only to modernize its older armoured vehicles, but, now with the Merkava, to build its own.
The author would like to express his thanks to Pierre Touzin, the Israeli Consulate in New York, the office of the Israeli Military Attache and Press Office of the Embassy of Israel in Washington DC, the Israeli Government Press Agency, Soltam Ltd., James Loop, George Balin and Joseph Desautels, without whose generous help in obtaining the photographs appearing here, this book would not have been possible. All photographs are from official Israeli government sources unless otherwise noted.

Tanks Illustrated 05 - Simon Dunstan - British Bat tle Tanks 1945 to the Present (1983).jpg

During the Second World War, British tanks were generally inferior to their German opponents with respect to their firepower and armour protection, while their high mobility in the early years was severely compromised by chronic unreliability. Since the war British designers have consistently pursued a policy that would prevent British troops ever taking the field again with tanks of inferior armour and armament. Unlike the European school of thought which advocates high mobility and firepower to ensure survival on the battlefield, the British consider that firepower is the primary attribute of a tank in defeating enemy armour at long ranges, followed closely by heavy armour protection to enable it to absorb punishment and manoeuvre at close quarters with relative immunity in a theatre of high-intensity warfare. Immediately after the war Britain abandoned the misguided doctrine of dividing tanks into 'Cruiser' and 'Infantry' types and adopted the idea of a 'Universal' or 'general purpose' tank, later to be known as the 'Main Battle Tank'. The first of these was Centurion, an excellent design capable of being repeatedly upgraded. Originally armed with the 17pdr, it was subsequently fitted with the 20pdr and finally the 105mm gun; the frontal armour was increased and fuel capacity more than doubled. Its successor, Chieftain, was designed from the outset to mount the most powerful and effective gun feasible, with a range of ammunition capable of defeating different armour arrangements at considerable range. The latest British Main Battle Tank is Challenger. It incorporates the latest developments in tank technology, including advanced compound armour, a computerised fire control system and thermal-imaging equipment for night fighting. Challenger is the product of more than 60 years of British tank development and is one of the foremost AFV designs in the world. The photographs on the following pages form a representative cross-section of the principal battle tanks employed by the British Army in the past forty years. In preparing them for publication I wish to thank the public relations departments of the Ministry of Defence; HQ Royal Armoured Corps Centre; National Army Museum; James Haddon; Vickers Defence Systems; and Les Wiggs of Soldier Magazine.

Tanks Illustrated 22 - Simon Dunstan - Scorpion, t he CVR(T) range (1986).jpg

The FV101 Scorpion is a British armoured reconnaissance vehicle. It was the lead vehicle and the fire support type in the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked), CVR(T), family of seven armoured vehicles. Manufactured by Alvis it was introduced into service with the British Army in 1973 and served until 1994. More than 3,000 were produced and used as an reconnaissance vehicle or a light tank.

Tanks Illustrated 28 - Panzer Armee Afrika, Tripol i to Tunis (1988).jpg

With the Allied 'Torch' landings in November 1942 and the fall of Tripoli in January 1943, the position of the Axis forces in North Africa had become perilous. Rommel, commanding Panzer Armec Afrika, had been pressing with increasing urgency for the promised reinforcements of six or seven divisions and two heavy tank battalions with their 40 Tiger tanks and 40 Pz Kpfw IIIs.
After his recall to Berlin in March 1943, during which he requested the evaluation of his remaining forces in Tunisia, Rommel was replaced in command on the 9th of the month by Von Arnim, who had formed the 5th Panzer Armee in December 1942 and who retained overall command of Armee Gruppe Afrika until the surrender of all Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943.

In the early days of U.S. involvement in South Vietnam (prior to the 1965 buildup), it was generally believed by America's military leaders that the only ground units suitable to fight in that country were light infantry units. This belief was largely shaped by the terrain and weather of Vietnam.
