Sherman Crab Flail Tank (New Vanguard) (ISBN 1846030846)

Sherman Crab Flail tank:
Interesting historical facts regarding the backgtound before manufacturing the Crab. Nothing over post WW.2 use, if any.

It's not bad, but...:
This is good addition to Osprey's Vanguard series, this volume presents one from the "armoured funnies" of WW II. There are, however, some deviations from what readers have come to expect from this publication. In text are short history of anty-mine Britisch tanks and history of idea flail tank. About using Sherman Crab is too little information, there are no line drawings of this machine. For modellers and hobbists too little, for teenangers - too much. In this series I read better books.

For any in-depth military library focusing on equipment history.:
David Fletcher's SHERMAN CRAB FLAIL TANK follows the design and history of the Sherman tank, considering its development and deployment. Colorful artwork and vintage photos supplement a collection recommended for any in-depth military library focusing on equipment history.
