May 1929-April 1930. Articles from the German by Major F. Heigl, on Anti-Tank Weapons; Field Marshal Sir George Milne's artilce on "The Evolution of Armoured Fighting Vehicles" (p. 204-218) with a full page picture if the Medium Tank Mark I as it was at the time and a description of the positive and negatives during the Great War, also there are full page pictures of "the Heavy Tank" ,the 18-pounder Self-Propelled Mounting (Latest type). Dragon, Mark III, 20 pages were not separated by the binder properly and have been amateurishly separated though each article can be read with the major one "Armored Cars in India" having a loss of three words of text. Other than this defect a good copy throughout and in very good condition. It is rather amazing that within a decade the British had no tanks in 1939 becaused improved versions were left to a committee of those lacking expertise (see G. McLeod, The Business of Tanks) so the Director of Mechanization declared: "There is no General Staff requirement for a more powerful gun in tanks." Here in this volume, the issues were constantly explored particularly in terms of what German theoreticians had developed.
