World Wars

After the initial type (AMR 33) was pressed into service, the French Cavalry asked Renault for an improved version with the engine at the rear. The new vehicle was adopted in 1935, as the "AMR 35" (automitrailleuse de reconnaissance modèle 1935). This light cavalry tank has been produced in a number of different versions (with a light or heavy machine-gun, or with a 25 mm antitank gun) and has also been the basis of two different types of radio-equipped command vehicles.

FRENCH VERSION
A detailed account of the Normandy campaign fought by the British Armoured Divisions and independant Armoured Brigades, from the D-Day landing to Operation Goodwood. The Author — a dedicated specialist of British armour — has divided his work into three parts : the units involved, the AFVs fielded in Normandy, and the doctrine of use of the High Command with its actual effect on the battlefield.
Equipped in some cases with obsolescent vehicles, their personnel often under-motivated but sometimes inventive, the British tank formations did not always answer to the hopes of the Allied military planners. This book gives a fresh view on the whole question.

FRENCH VERSION
This reprint, long awaited for, included new coverages, widening the scope of the former book.

In April 1941, Hitler ordered the development of a heavy tank, armed with the famed 88mm gun. This tank became a legend in its own time. With over 250 photos — mostly from new sources — and more than 50 colour plates (profiles, three-quarter views and details), Tiger I in the East depicts the markings, insignia and camouflage of the most famous of all German tanks. The history and order of battle of every Tiger unit who faced the Red Army is also featured.

FRENCH VERSION
Although volumes have been written about the invasion of Normandy, very little has ever been printed on the specialized units that were developed specifically for the landings. Jonathan Gawne, the well-known American military historian specialising in the development of uniforms for the US Army, tells the story of these units, and how they fit into the overall invasion plan. Spearheading D-Day examines each unit for not only its mission in the landings, but also its organisation, uniforms, insignia and equipment.

From the beaches of Normandy to the banks of the Baltic Sea, the British Soldiers have etched their name in History during the liberation of Europe.
Vol. 2 features organisation, armament, heavy equipment, AFVs as well as field guns and the main types of military transports with their appropriate markings according to orbats. With over 1 200 illustrations, the combination of the two volumes makes an encyclopaedia of the British land formations in Western Europe in 1944-1945.

FRENCH VERSION
For a few brief days in August 1944 the world turned its attention to Brittany, but soon all eyes focused on the drive into the heart of France. Yet, Patton’s other tank drive to the west, and the siege of the ports of Brittany, were crucial on the logistical plans for the Allied Armies in Europe. This book covers the astounding armored thrusts of the 4th and 6th Armored Divisions, as well as General Ernest’s cavalry Task Force A, into Brittany.

Featuring over 300 wartime photos and 75 colour artworks (profiles, three-quarter views and details).
