Sherman Firefly – David Fletcher

Raamatu kirjeldus : The most powerfully gunned tank fielded by the Allies during World War II was the Sherman Firefly. An ordinary American-built Sherman modified by the British, the Firefly had the firepower that could finally match the awesome German tanks that had dominated Europe. David Fletcher examines the controversy that dogged the Firefly and the psychological boost the tank provided to Allied forces. Exploring its successes and failures on the battlefield and providing a realistic assessment of the tank’s worth, this is essential reading for anyone wanting to know the facts about a tank variant that quickly developed its own mythology.

Editorial Reviews : "Firefly oli vaieldamatult lääneliitlaste parim WW2 tank, mida tankitõrje jõudluse osas toodeti koguses... Siin kirjeldatakse kogu [selle tootmisajalugu] ja nii on ka Firefly lahingukasutus, samuti huvitavad külgvalgustid, nagu Firefliesi kasutamine punkrite betoonirünnakuks ja Firefly tootmine USA armee jaoks. Väga soovitatav." -John Prigent, Interneti-modelleerija (märts 2008)
