Second World War; Tanks & military land vehicles

Series: Legends of Warfare: Ground

The Panther remains one of the most popular tanks in all of history. Modellers, gamers, and tank enthusiasts travel all over the world to see the few remaining examples.

Featuring sloping armour and armed with a powerful 75 mm gun, Germany's Panther tank was developed as a counter to the Soviet T-34.

Entering production in 1943, the Panther was intended to become Germany's standard medium tank.

Although featuring potent armament and excellent armor, the Panther was hampered by disruptive production and drivetrain maintenance requirements. Produced in three variants, by three firms (MAN, Daimler-Benz, and MNH), the roughly 6,000 Panthers were used on the Eastern Front, in Italy, and from Normandy to Berlin. In this greatly expanded edition of the author's earlier work, almost 250 photos are used to present the Panther from the factory to the battlefield in considerable detail.

AUTHOR: Since 1999, David Doyle has written over 200 published books, and the range of topics has expanded to include warships and combat aircraft. These books have ranged in size from 56 pages to large works approaching 1,000 pages.

“An interesting book that can serve as an introduction to the Panther, with sufficient basic information and a good number of photos, including several of vehicles in museums. In addition, it contains colour profiles and drawings to visually show the differences between versions. ”
