The Tank Museum Guide to Leopard 1

PRE-ORDER: Hardback

The Tank Museum Guide to Leopard 1 is a comprehensive study of one of the Cold War’s most important Main Battle Tanks, covering its development, production, variants, and operational service.

As the first fully German‑designed tank since the Second World War, the Leopard 1 owed much to design concepts shaped by late‑war combat experiences.

Featuring more than 300 photographs and a detailed walk‑around of The Tank Museum’s Leopard AS1, the book includes first‑hand insights from Australian Army crew members offering their perspectives on operation and maintenance.
