Default Book - British tanks

Found a book at the local op shop for two bucks ( Aust. for charity shop - opportunity shop )

British Tanks and fighting vehicles 1914-1945

Author BT White. Published 1970 304 pages . Ian Allen publisher

Nice book with B&W pics . The author gives credits to many , including B Vanderveen and D Fletcher ( Fletcher must have just arrived back in the UK after a stint driving Melbourne trams in the late 1960's , he informed me of his tram driving in a email )

The major downside of the book is; the author has squeezed in just about every type and variant of British AFV he can find , even experimental types . With limited space, only brief descriptions of the specifications and service histories of each type are given .
