While the US Army deactivated its heavy armor units with the reception of the new M60 series main battle tanks in , the remaining Ms stayed within the US Marine Corps inventory until they began receiving the M60 series main battle tank. Post—World War II armies have shifted to the Main Battle Tank concept, in which a single model is expected to fulfill the breakthrough functions of a heavy tank while retaining the mobility of medium and light tanks. It may have been the unwanted 'ugly duckling' of the Army, which refrained from naming the M alone of all its postwar tanks. The M is a bit of a footnote in the history of US armour.

  • LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Master's Thesis the M26 Pershing
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Master’s Thesis The M26 Pershing: America’s Forgotten Tank - Developmental and Combat History Author : Reader : Supervisor : Robert P. Hanger Dr. Christopher J. Smith Dr. David L. Snead A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts In the Liberty University Department of History May 11, 2018 Abstract The M26 tank, nicknamed the “General Pershing,” was the final result of the Ordnance Department’s revolutionary T20 series. It was the only American heavy tank to be fielded during the Second World War. Less is known about this tank, mainly because it entered the war too late and in too few numbers to impact events. However, it proved a sufficient design – capable of going toe-to-toe with vaunted German armor. After the war, American tank development slowed and was reduced mostly to modernization of the M26 and component development. The Korean War created a sudden need for armor and provided the impetus for further development. M26s were rushed to the conflict and demonstrated to be decisive against North Korean armor. Nonetheless, the principle role the tank fulfilled was infantry support. In 1951, the M26 was replaced by its improved derivative, the M46. Its final legacy was that of being the foundation of America’s Cold War tank fleet. Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 1.

  • GURPS WWII Classic
    World War II raged from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the South Pacific, from the mountaintops of the Alps to the beaches of Normandy, across (and under) the high seas, and through the skies above it all. Soldiers in all of these places relied upon the machines of war: bombers, fighters, tanks, jeeps, ships, submarines, landing craft, and much more. GURPS WWII: Motor Pool has a huge variety of historically accurate vehicles from mankind’s greatest conflict. Many of the vehicles were common; others were rare or even unique. From the stodgy General Lee tank to the earliest helicopters and the wildly impractical Maus, Motor Pool has tons of new gear for every GURPS WWII player. Motor Pool also gathers in one place all the refinements to the vehicle design system that have evolved since the original corebook came out, as well as a new system to describe any WWII-era conveyance in a few simple steps. These additions include scores of new weapons to be fitted on your war machines – some historical and some products of the imagination. On top of all that, Motor Pool has advice on S how to integrate vehicles into a roleplaying T E campaign, with details on how vehicle crews V really lived and fought, from the difficulties of E supply to getting their machine moving at all. J A Whether you’re campaigning by land, by sea, or C by air, Motor Pool dramatically expands your K options! S O N . AGAINST HEAVY METAL!

  • Gbm : L’Index N° 1 Les 1000 Premières Pages
    Index DU N° 74 AU N° 85 INCLUS GBM : L’INDEX N° 1 LES 1000 PREMIÈRES PAGES Vous livrant cet index à entrées multiples (par personnalité, par corps de troupe, par lieu, par type de matériel), je vous dévoile toute la mesure du projet — devenu réalité — représenté par GBM tel que je l’ai imaginé dès son premier numéro, le 74. De fait, le résultat dépasse mes espérances. Tous les articles, tous les sujets, toutes les approches, se renvoient les unes aux autres de manière logique et organisée. Je vous invite, non pas à lire attentivement cet index — ce serait un pensum — mais à regarder, à tra- vers tel ou tel exemple de votre choix, la manière dont il est structuré et le résultat auquel il permet d’arri- ver en matière de recherche rapide et, aussi, de visualisation du propos. Il n’existe pas, du moins pas à ma connaissance, d’autre magazine papier sur un sujet-passion qui offre un tel maillage des sujets qu’il aborde. Il s’agit, au sens propre du terme, d’un réseau, d’une toile (un « net » ou un « web » pour parler globish) où chaque fil se croise et se recroise. Mais ceci ne serait qu’artifice de présentation s’il n’y avait autre chose, en amont, de beaucoup plus fondamental : une documentation tout à la fois plurielle et unique, réunion dans un même support du fruit des travaux profondément inédits d’une pléïade de chercheurs passionnés qui se vouent à l’étude de l’armée française, de ses hommes, de ses unités, de ses matériels.
