This is the first book in our U.S.Armored Forces in WWII Series. This series
was published originally in 1942 to instruct the greatly expanded Armor branch
in the details of tank tactics. This volume is a reprint of FM 17-30 Tank
Platoon (October 1942). It contains hundreds of illustrations of the basic
common sense of the do’s and dont’s of armored warfare. Being
designed to instruct tens of thousands of new soldiers, it is remarkably clear
and down to earth. An excellent book for anyone who wants to learn the basics
of tank tactics, especially in World War Two.
