Sherman Tanks of the British Army and Royal Marines: Normandy Campaign 1944 (TankCraft)

Sherman Tanks of the British Army and Royal Marines: Normandy Campaign 1944 (TankCraft)

With production in excess of 55,000 the Sherman tank was eventually in service with most Allied armies of the Second World War and by the time of the Normandy landings was the mainstay of Britain'sÂ armored battalions. In his second book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver usesÂ wartime photos and extensively researched, exquisitely presentedÂ color illustrations to cover theÂ Sherman tanks used by the units of the Royal Armoured Corps and the Royal Marines during the fighting in northern France.

As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part ofÂ this workÂ showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained as is the complex system of markings employed by BritishÂ armoredÂ regiments.

This book will give the modeler all the information and knowledge required to recreate anÂ authentic miniature representation of the tanks that fought from the beaches of Normandy, through the battles for Caen and on to killing fields of Falaise.
