Reviews

[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1979, 'Stuart - US Light Tanks in action' is number 18 in the Armor series of booklets by Squadron/Signal. In the usual format, it contains over 90 well captioned photos, numerous line drawings illustrating types, sub-types and equipment details as well as a couple of pages of colour artworks and a potted history. The title is misleading in that the booklet covers all US light tank types used in WW2, of which the 'Stuart' in the title is the main one.
