It’s only fitting that he would have a touch-as-nails, fast, heavily armored and armed, bulldog of a tank named after him.
Put into production in 1952 the Patton Tank is still used today proving its worth on the battlefield.
In Schiffer Books’ Legends Of Warfare Ground M48 Patton: America’s First “Main Battle Tank” by author David Doyle informative and historical text accompanied by archival black and white and color photos follow the development of the M48 Patton Tank through the decades.
Ever since first rolled off the assembly line the Patton tank has proven itself to be reliable, rugged, fast, deadly and versatile.
The hardback book is filled with photos of the tank when first introduced, factory assembly, testing, on the battlefield, in various climates and terrain, on display in various museums and military facilities and in both full vehicle and closeup detail photos.
Military buffs are sure to enjoy the history of the vehicles, technical details and the hundreds of photos.
As a kid I loved putting together tank model kits. The M48 Patton was one of my favorites.
After reading through the book and examining the photos I appreciate and marvel at the tank even more.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
