Synopsis
Detailed, highly illustrated history of the M48 Patton main battle tank. The M48 Patton main battle tank was one of the most successful and longest-serving designs produced in the United States, and it is a popular subject with tank modelers and enthusiasts. When it came into service in 1949 it represented a significant advance on the Sherman and M47 which it replaced, and it formed the backbone of American armored forces during the early years of the Cold War. It also saw combat in Vietnam, during the Indo-Pakistan wars and in the Middle East, in particular during the Iran-Iraq War. So it is an fascinating subject for this volume in the TankCraft series.Archive photos of the M48 in service and extensively researched color profile illustrations depict the tank throughout its operational life. A large part of the book showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined and provide everything the modeler needs to recreate an accurate representation of the M48., The M48 Patton main battle tank was one of the most successful and longest-serving designs produced in the United States, and it is a popular subject with tank modellers and enthusiasts.

    I love For the Historian Bookstore, both the actual shop and the ebay site. The item shipped on time, and was exactly as described. It was packaged in a way to protect the item, especially since it was made out of paper. I found this to be a good value, because it was a used book. I highly recommend this seller to everyone, and would definitely use them again.

  • Worth looking for.

    A short concise overview of the M48 that will appeal more to the modeler than a historian. There is a *brief* history of it's 4 decades of service - but it's strength is it's color pictures (some of them rarely seen). Also, there are model kit build-ups that highlight what can be done with what's available today. A nice synopsis that is well worth the cost: not as comprehensive as the old Hunnicutt book, but at much less cost.
