Tanques M3 Lee / Grant - Estados Unidos: libros - historia y técnica

M3 Medium Tank - The Lee and Grant Tanks in World War II (Legends of Warfare)

de (Autor)

The M3 Lee was America's first mass-produced combat tank. Its unusual configuration of hull-mounted 75 mm gun and turret-mounted 37 mm cannon was a result of the rush to get the vehicle in production following Nazi Germany's rapid advances in Europe.
Following heavy British tank losses in France, the Commonwealth turned to the US to bolster their tank stocks, and the M3 was adapted, through the use of a different turret style, to fill this need. Later, as more-advanced tanks became available, notably the M4 Sherman, the M3s were adapted to fill other roles.

This book chronicles the development and use of these vehicles from concept to combat. Through dozens of archival photos, many never before published, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of surviving vehicles, these iconic armored fighting vehicles are explored, and their history is explained.

M3 Lee / Grant Medium Tank 1941-45 (Osprey)

de (Autor)

The highly successful 'stop-gap' M3 medium tank was designed in 1941, and as adequate turret casting facilities were not yet ready, the M3 used an unusual armament configuration patterned after a French tank. British lend-lease demands led to the design of a second turret type with the US version called the Lee and the British version the Grant. It could penetrate Panzer armor, and its explosive firepower was excellent for dealing with German anti-tank guns.

This book covers the design, development, service and variants of a vehicle that was the backbone of many World War II forces.

Contents: Introduction - Design and development of the M3 - Variants and users - Weapons and tactics - Operational history - Bibliography - Color plate commentary - Index.
