This book documents the development and production of the M4A1
through its many variations, as well as its combat use around the
globe. Produced by Lima Locomotive Works, Pressed Steel Car
Company, and Pacific Car and Foundry, the M4A1 was the first of the
famed Sherman tanks and preceded the welded-hull M4 into
production. Powered by a nine-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine,
the M4A1 fought in North Africa with both US and British forces,
across northwestern Europe, and on Pacific Islands with both the
Army and the Marines, serving well into the 1950s. The evolving
design went through three major hull designs, multiple turret
designs, and armament with either a 75 mm or 76 mm gun-all of which
are detailed in this book. Extensive archival photographs are
augmented by stunning color images of preserved tanks, taking the
reader around and inside this famed warhorse. Part of the Legends
of Warfare series.
