Nyskick. Skyddsomslag i nyskick. Engelsk text. Anti-tank weapons today are sophisticated items of hardware, but in World Wars I and II, many improvized weapons were used to knock out tanks. This work contains accounts of infantrymen who disabled tanks by pouring petrol over the engine casings and igniting it; pushing grenades down the barrels of tanks; and dropping bombs through open turrets to kill crews. As well as descriptions of hand-held anti-tank weapons, included in the book are anti-tank guns, mobile tank destroyers and anti-armour ordnance used by the tanks themselves. There are also chapters on the aircraft that have been developed and modified since World War II to kill tanks, such as the A-10 Thunderbolt and the Russian SU-25 Frogfoot.
