The narrative is accompanied by 62 black and white photographs (many of them impressive and double page) throughout the entire work, and a collection of pictures composed by 28 full-colour illustrations, masterfully prepared by Brian Delf of some of the Models and designs of camouflage.

A useful and interesting book for the tanks modeller.

Forces Pension Society

A comprehensive study of the Centurion tank, describing its development, performance, sales and service history with additional chapters covering its experimental variants, which ranged from the remarkable to the slightly strange. Designed during the Second World War to meet the alarming challenge set by the German Tiger and Panther tanks, the Centurion was not to enter service until the post-war period but immediately proved itself to be a very superior design and was hailed as one of the finest main battle tanks of its day. Such was the scope for modification which had been incorporated into the design that it was 20 years before it began to be replaced by the Chieftain, but even then its many variants continued to see active service in a wide range of roles in a number of very different climates and terrains, even making an appearance as late as the Gulf War of 1991. An impressive tribute to a superb vehicle.
