FV430 Series : Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives Paperback / softback
by Robert Griffin
Part of the Images of War series
Paperback / softback
Description
During the Second World War the British infantry found itself lacking suitable transport to cope with the fast moving German Blitzkrieg tactics.
Various stop-gap measures were introduced with mixed success but, with the pots-war nuclear biological and chemical threat, it was imperative that a robust solution was found. The FV300 and FV400 Cambridge carriers paved the way for the introduction of the AFV430 series in the 1960s at the height of the Cold War.
Initially a basic armoured personnel carrier, the series grew to cover a multitude of roles; command, recovery, mortar, Swingfire and remote mine clearing to name but a selection.
Over 50 years later variants are still in service. This classic Images of War book not only describes in words and images the AFV430 series but traces the development of infantry carriers for the British Army.
