E series
Nice piece of footage. Several famous faces. Those are two of the Experimental series tanks, E1 with the big fake barrel and E2 with a 2-pdr, being demonstrated for the big wigs at Fisherman's Bend in early 1942. E1 retired hurt with a broken track. There were three AC-E series tanks built before the production run of 65 AC1 tanks.
Most of the 65 production AC tanks were assembled and drivable by the close of the project, but far from reliable or combat-ready. I'd like to think the book covers the subject in sufficient detail - it's about 100,000 words supported by 430-odd images. The ultimate judgement of that will be the readers, of course, but I've done my best.
Interesting to see a camouflaged Mortar carrier amongst the swarm of AFVs.
