Product Description
Product Description
The Panther Medium Tank was produced as a direct result of early experiences with the revolutionary Soviet T-34/76. Designers and military experts combined to produce a number of variations to provide armoured support for the many branches of the German army. Whether acting as a command communications vehicle, involved in mobile air defence as a flakpanzer, a Panzer division recovery vehicle, or utilising the turret as a static defence system, the Panther in its many forms was the mainstay of Germany's plan to keep her enemies at bay on two fronts. This book, the product of 25 years of research, examines the numerous Panther variants in detail.

Format:Paperback
This book contains all the information you would need to know about the late war panthers. It has black & white photos of actual tanks, line drawings of proposed types for all German service groups ie artillery,fixed fortifications,flak units the lot. A good read if German panthers are your thing or just military history in general. Recommended.

Good info on little known Panther VARIANTS
15 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
Note: This is a book about variants based on the Panther chassis, thus the title Panther VARIANTS. The reviewer from Vanezuela complains about a lack of info on the Panther itself, but neglects to refer to New Vanguard #67, Panther Medium Tank. The information contained within is not easily come by, and some of these variants and proposed projects (like the Panther II) I had never heard of. A great resource. The title is correct. If you don't want information about Panther variants, don't buy a book called Panther VARIANTS.

Wrong title - It should be Little known Panther projects
17 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
The book shows all the designed AFV variants on Panther chassis. If you are looking for Panther tanks, very little information will be found inside. For each Ausf. D, A, and G less than half page is used, but there are many pages dedicated to Bergepanther or AA guns built/designed. The night Panther with IR is well covered, including a side profile and the cutaway drawing. If you collect Panther books, this is a good addition for your collection, but if you are looking for the well known tank, look elsewhere like Squadron's Panther in action.
