The Staghound was a unique World War II armored vehicle – designed and manufactured in the US, but intended solely for the British army. Since its combat debut in Italy in 1943 until the end of the war it had performed particularly valuable service in a reconnaissance role where its speed and armor ensured that it was able to extricate itself from trouble as required without additional support. This book examines the development of this category of armored cars and offers a detailed analysis of the extensive combat use of the Staghound in British service as well as in the service of other Allied countries including Canada, New Zealand and Poland.

Teh Κλίμαν Βοροσίλοφ (KV) τανκς ήταν μια σειρά σοβιετικών βαρέων αρμάτων μάχης που πήραν το όνομά τους από τον Σοβιετικό αμυντικό κομισάριο και πολιτικό Kliment Voroshilov και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν από τον Κόκκινο Στρατό κατά τη διάρκεια του Β 'Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου. ΚV-1Σ: In response to criticisms, the lighter KV-1S was developed, with thinner armour and a smaller, lower turret in order to reclaim some speed. Importantly, the KV-1S had a commander’s cupola with all-around vision blocks. It also had a sophisticated planetary transmission that significantly increased the reliability, and allowed use of more efficient regenerative geared steering, unlike the solely clutch and brake steering systems used by the Panzer III, IV and T-34. Its reduced weight allowed it to achieve a top speed of 43.3 km/h.
