The markings applied to Marine Corps tanks in the Pacific are a source of great interest for armour enthusiasts, and especially for scale modellers, who find in them an almost endless diversity and originality.

However, apart from a few scattered references in books covering broader subjects, there are no specialist works in English on the topic. This publication details and explains for the first time the markings used on USMC tanks between 1942 and 1945.

A chapter is devoted to each of the Marine Corps' armoured units, briefly recounting their engagements and describing tank markings down to section level, with the aid of numerous period photographs and detailed colour profiles.

In the autumn of 1914, the French army was brutally confronted with a new form of combat: trench warfare.

Improvised in a matter...

In 1937, Colonel de Gaulle moved from theory to practice. The man behind the "paper tank" — who in 1934 had written a veritable manifesto in favour of the armoured corps, Vers l'armée de métier, his most celebrated work — spent two years in Metz commanding a tank regiment, the 507e RCC. There, equipped with the powerful 20-tonne D 2 tanks built by...

"Female collaborators": the mere mention of the word calls to mind images of the thousands of French women crushed by the savage purges and publicly shorn at the Liberation for having "sinned" with the enemy. Sometimes, too, one recalls other events that marked the years of Occupation — such as the notorious trip to Germany undertaken by French actresses...
