Along with the Tiger, Sherman and T-34, the Panther ranks as one of
the most famous tanks of the Second World War. Anthony
Tucker-Jones, in this comprehensive new study of a remarkable
fighting vehicle, uses over 100 archive photographs, along with a
selection of colour profiles, to describe its design, development
and operational record. On the Eastern Front the German army needed
to counter the Red Army's robust and utilitarian T-34 which began
to appear in every-growing and eventually decisive numbers. The
Panther, the German response, was rapidly conceived and produced
under extraordinarily difficult wartime conditions. With its
sloping armour and a high-velocity 75mm gun, it proved to be a
better medium tank than its predecessor the Mk IV, it was more
versatile than the heavyweight Tiger and it was superior to most of
the Allied tanks it faced. It also had an important influence on
subsequent tank design. Anthony Tucker-Jones's photographic history
gives a fascinating insight into its wartime career.
