The Australian Cruiser Tank *1st Edition*
$65.00 – $70.00
The development and production of the Australian Cruiser Tank during WWII is rarely discussed in comparison with tank production in other countries like Russia, The USA and Britain. Australia’s output of tanks was miniscule compared with these countries. Comments about the Australian Cruiser Tank were less than positive, and the tank production was cancelled in 1943
Drawing on valuable information from the Australian Archives, this book shows the positive side of tank production in Australia and of the capacity of the Australian Cruiser Tank itself.
