L'AML Panhard – Book on the French Armoured Vehicle AML 60 and AML 90

L'AML Panhard is a reference work devoted to one of the most notable French armoured vehicles of the post-war era. Written by Thomas Seignon, this book examines the design, operational use and career of the AML Panhard, a vehicle renowned for its simplicity, firepower and exceptional versatility.

After the Second World War, the French Army had to meet new operational requirements, particularly in the context of decolonisation conflicts. At the same time, France sought to revive a more independent national defence industry. The AML Panhard fits squarely within this dynamic: a light, effective, relatively economical armoured vehicle suited to a wide variety of operational theatres.

The work highlights the two main variants of this military vehicle: the AML 60 and the AML 90. These variants convey the operational versatility of the AML, both within the French light armoured cavalry and among the many foreign armies that adopted it. Its export success across several continents confirms the significance of this armoured vehicle in contemporary military history.

The author, a former officer of the Armoured Cavalry Corps, brings concrete technical expertise. His experience with French Army armoured vehicles, along with his connection to French military heritage, gives this book genuine documentary depth.

With its 176 illustrated pages, 21 x 27 cm format and hardcover binding, L'AML Panhard is aimed at military vehicle enthusiasts, collectors, scale modellers and readers interested in the history of French armoured vehicles of the 20th century.
