Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) are a critical component of any armoured formation, providing tactical support to the tank. This comprehensive book is an authoritative history and directory of armoured cars, armoured personnel carriers, and self-propelled artillery, covering a wide range of wheeled, tracked, and half-tracked vehicles. The book begins with a lively account of AFVs from the early 20th century to the present generation of lighter, faster, and more agile vehicles. The author highlights the diverse roles AFVs have played throughout history, from the days before radio communication to the World Wars, the Cold War, and the birth of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
The book is divided into two substantial directories. The first directory covers the period from 1900 to 1945, during which the major types of AFVs evolved. The many photographs showcase the diversity of these vehicles, including the Rolls-Royce Armoured Car, the Sexton 25PDR Self-Propelled gun, and the Buffalo LVT Amphibious Assault Vehicle. The second directory focuses on the remarkable advances in AFV development post-World War II, from the BMP-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the Scud Missile System TEL to the Boxer Multi-role AFV and the Varta Armoured Personnel Carrier. Detailed specification boxes are featured for each AFV described, providing up-to-date information such as country of origin, weight, dimensions, armament, armour thickness, powerplant, speed, and range.
This beautifully illustrated book is a valuable resource for enthusiasts and historians alike, offering essential information about these diverse and multifunctional vehicles. It serves as a testament to the evolution and significance of AFVs in military history and their continued importance in modern warfare.
