Tanks and Armored Vehicles Coloring Book

About this book

A highly developed form of protected, mobile striking power, tanks are the successors to war chariots and armored elephants used by armies of ancient times. Designed to be used as part of large infantry units (as in World Wars I and II), or as a separate striking force (as in the Gulf War of 1991), the modern tank is a formidable weapon of war.This comprehensive coloring book of 44 accurately rendered illustrations chronicles the development of tanks and other armored vehicles -- from the "Little Willie" (1915) to the British Challenger 2 main battle tank (MBT) (1994).
