Here's a sneak peek at the "Late War American Tanks" book that I am in the process of putting together for Letterman Publications. Release date in late June. The book is authored by David Doyle.

I like seeing the SP artillery like that-- how good is the coverage of that vehicle in the book overall?

Unfortunately, there is not much info on that piece available, I think that this book has everything I have seen in the past (which is very little) plus a bunch of new stuff. 23 historical photos in all. Another 24 post war detail shots.

That M40 SPG (Self-Propelled Gun) saw plenty of service in Korea.

Dave: I also love the "Super Pershing" pic and the Chaffee!

No late war Sherman stuff in this book, that is planned to be covered in a later book on Shermans. This book covers the T26E3, M24 Chaffe, and the M40 SPG.

That's it ..you had to bring this out after I finished my Pershing !!! Just kidding I will be building another one one day ...This should help with my chaffee and if AFV Club could get off their butts and give us the M40 we've been waiting for ... Great Idea Dave!
