Although tanks have become a symbol of military power, the first
tanks were created as a temporary solution to the deadlock created
by trench warfare. The early designs were unsophisticated and had
little success when they were first used by the British Army on the
Somme in 1916. The battle of Cambrai, however, proved that tanks
were effective, and they were used extensively in the final year of
the war. By 1918 over 2,700 tanks had been built in Britain, while
France, Germany, the United States, Italy and Russia had all
produced tanks of their own. This book covers the design and
development of tanks during the First World War, describing the
types that were used in action and the most important battles in
which they fought. It is illustrated with photographs from the
archives of the Tank Museum, at Bovington in Dorset.
