Mark V Tank (New Vanguard, 178)

Great book with awesome photos and diagrams!

A concise and useful overview of the British Mark V tank and its variants. I found it helpful for planning a scale model build. I would like to have seen it include interior photos from one of the remaining Mark Vs, such as the one at the Imperial War Museum. Overall, a good start point for learning about this pioneering armored vehicle.

With so little written about tanks of the First world War this compact resource by noted expert David Fletcher fills in the blanks on this important step forward on British tank technology. It is easy to confuse the Mark IV and Mark V tanks; Mr. Fletcher makes the differences clear. With many good photos this book is a must for anyone interested in the tanks of WWI.

Great subject very informative.

This book is great. Lots of battlefield recounts, fighting strategies, construction details and some nice in-depth information about the operational workings of these beasts. And all the information is nicely backed up by a comprehensive range of photos and some detailed drawings. I would recommend to anyone that is interested in WW1 tanks. Charles TANKBOY Knight

An excellent addition to the series.

Good book

Fletcher does a good job of describing the development and deployment of the Mark V and the details that distinguish it from the earlier Marks. Color profiles show both British and American tanks. This is a great companion to the earlier books on the Mark I and Mark IV. I hope that Fletcher (or Zaloga) decide to author a book on the Whippet.

Superb follow-up to David's books on the Mark I and Mark IV tanks. Arrived this morning, read by this evening. As before, full of fascinating details, rare photos and great drawings. A real authority on the subject. If you're interested in WW1 tanks, buy without fear. David - when are you doing one on the Whippets??

I bought this book for a modelling project I had in mind to mark the centenary of the first world war. I ended up modelling the mark IV as this was the most widely used tank but I was interested in the improvements made in the Mk V and it's variants.

Well made and pretty thorough. Now doing the rounds with other tank fans.

Excellent Osprey title as always. A good overview of the vehicles and excellent choice of photos and imaginative artwork. Recommended as a good starting point for modelling research.

great book
