Trackstory No. 15, the second installment from Editions du Barbotin, looks into the Renault FT as used by other countries.
From the publisher: At the time of its entry into service, the FT tank was a revolutionary design. Its small size which allowed it to descend into then climb out of trenches, and its revolving turret, which was the first mounted on a tank, turned it into the tank which symbolised victory in the Great War. From that moment many countries around the world began to take an interest in this outstanding armoured vehicle. Some thirty countries would want to evaluate it. Some of them would buy only one or two examples, but others would make it the backbone of their nascent armoured forces. This book will set out to describe the widespread fascination with the FT.

Trackstory N° 15 Renault FT Around the World contains 64 pages, and offered as a full bilingual edition, English and French. It presents 56 contemporary photos, with most being presented for the first time, as well as 24 colour profiles.

Available for pre-order until May 26, 2017.
