M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943–85 (New Vanguard)

M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943–85 (New Vanguard) by Steven J. Zaloga
English | February 17th, 2022 | ISBN: 1841765406 | 48 pages | True EPUB | 31.40 MB

The history of US light tanks during World War II is a chequered one. The Light Battalions of US Armored Divisions were initially filled with M3A1 and M5 Stuart tanks, however, on the battlefields of North Africa it was realised that these were disastrously under armoured and gunned, and a replacement, or the abandonment of light tank doctrine, was desperately needed. It wasn't until the last few months of WWII that the M24 Chaffee came into service and it was extensively used in combat from the Battle of the Bulge to the final campaigns in Germany. This book will trace the history of this design, its combat record in World War II, its many variants, and its extensive combat record post 1945.

Dreadful Lady over the Mekong Delta looks at the men of No 2 Squadron and the operations they flew in the Vietnam War in their Canberra bombers. From April 1967, the squadron spent four years attacking enemy targets, many of them in the Mekong Delta region, and contending with the politics, weather, and 'fog' of war. The riverine operations supported by No 2 Squadron were but a small part of an allied effort to disrupt the enemy's movement of troops and supplies to locations in South Vietnam. It was, according to one commentator, 'a kind of guerrilla warfare conducted in a navy environment'.
