Specificatii
One of the weaknesses of airmobile forces has always been their
vulnerability to enemy armor. Since the 1940s, there have been
numerous schemes to field light tanks that could be deployed by
parachute or other methods to reinforce paratroopers and other
airmobile forces. This book tells the story of the US experience
with airmobile tanks, starting with efforts in World War II,
notably the M22 Locust airmobile tank. Although not used in combat
by the US Army, it was used during Operation Varsity in 1945 by
British airborne forces and ended up supporting US paratroopers
during this mission on the Rhine river. The book then turns to
post-war efforts such as the unique T-92 airborne tank, designed
for paratroop drop.The only airborne tank actually manufactured in
significant numbers was the M551 Sheridan. The history of this tank
provides the focal point of this book, highlighting the
difficulties of combining heavy firepower in a chassis light enough
for airborne delivery. The book examines its controversial combat
debut in Vietnam, and its subsequent combat history in Panama and
Operation Desert Storm. It also rounds out the story by examining
attempts to replace the Sheridan with other armored vehicles, such
as the short-lived M8 MGS and Army LAV programs.
