Description: The M 48 Patton entered production in 1952 and remains in service with several major militaries today a great testament to the design and how it has evolved. The " Patton" is a fast tank with strong armor and a deadly 90 mm gun and it is an all - rounder generally accepted as America's first modern "main battle tank" or MBT. The tank was phased out of frontline service by the US military after the Vietnam War resulting in large numbers of M 48s being sold as surplus to foreign militaries some of which still deploy the vehicle today. This is a pictorial guide to the type featuring a balance of combat and detail photos. The book begins with the T 48 prototype and then features chapters on the A 1, A 2, A 3, A 4, and A 5 versions respectively along with a chapter on flamethrower variants.
