Does anyone have a better picture of Patton standing in front of the French made FT-17 in France in 1918 from the Wikipedia website? I am interested in the paint scheme of this particular tank. I have several books on the FT-17 but, I cannot find this particular vehicle.
Help.

Phil,
Have you seen this one on Wikipedia?

EDIT - Plus this video shows some good details, but I'm not sure if it's the same unit:

Yes I do have this particular picture. What I am interested in is a source for a clearer picture that might show the paint scheme. Even by enlarging it's hard to make out exact paint scheme.
Thanks for your reply.

Jeff, sorry I didn't scroll all the way down in your reply to see the YouTube video. I believe I can find the tank here. Actually there doesn't seem to be much info on the FT17.
Thanks
Thanks
