British Mark I Tank 1916 - Fletcher David
In 1915 a machine christened Little Willie changed the way that wars were fought. Its development was completed in December 1915, but by then it had already been superseded by an improved design, Mother. Little Willie was a fully tracked armoured vehicle that could break a trench system.
This book details the development of the Mark I, and its surprise arrival in France in the middle of 1916 during the closing weeks of the battles of the Somme. This was the first rhomboid tank, and the prototype for the Mark I which would influence a whole generation of tank building.
