Medium Tanks Marks I, IA and IA* 1931

This manual is a reprint of the official handling and maintenance instructions for the range of Mark I tanks, armed with a 3-pounder gun, and issued to troops in 1931. It gives a detailed picture of this type of medium tank and also points the way to understanding the philosophy of armour in the early 1930s. The details given of the tank are complete, and the original photographic plates are included as foldouts at the rear of the manual, as in the original. A reprint of a very rare publication, and essential to any study of of the development of the tank.
