Description

By David Fletcher

Landships, War Cars

Out of print for many years, Land Ships, War Cars along with Mechanised Force are effectively prequels to David Fletcher’s two-volume history of British Armour in the Second World War

Originally published by HMSO, The Tank Museum has the rights to republish the original text, complete with a 21st Century makeover.

Landships was a pioneering work on British tanks of the First World War. It examines, describes and illustrates every type of tank built for the British Army, against the background of the battles in which they fought.

Alongside it, War Cars examines the British development and use of Armoured Cars in World War One. Unsuited to the Western Front, they fought with great success in almost every other theatre of war.

We have merged these two volumes into one title, to create a comprehensive history of British Armour in the First World War.

A sepia surprise!

Having bought the other three David Fletcher British tank-history books it was a pleasant surprise to see the "oldest" one printed in Sepia. Vey appropriate I think and a fine job.
As a motorcycle enthusiast I was delighted to see the chapter on the "Fighting Motorcycles".
The illustration on pp156 of the No.5 battery MMGS is interesting in having Douglas machines in the foreground but without crediting them as such.
I still have to finish this book - as a tyro of tank history - but can I add another piece of mis-information I found in the "Universal Tank" book?
On pp11 - the Daimler Dingo photograph - the aeroplane illustrated is not as captioned an Avro Anson. It's a French C445 Goeland.
Overall though, these are fantastic reprints and most interesting and informative to a Tank Newcomer. Many thanks!!

Very readable and informative

A good, detailed overview of WWI fighting vehicles. Particularly interesting for the Armoured cars and motorcycles, about which less has been written elsewhere than the tanks.

Another interesting, detailed book from David Fletcher. The book is divided into 2 main sections covering the development of the tank in the first and then the armoured car in the second. The text is very readable and complemented by lots of photos and some line drawings. Thoroughly reccomended.
