Matilda Infantry Tank 1938-1945
The Matilda was the principal British infantry tank in the early years of World War II. Outclassed by increasingly powerful German anti-tank weapons, it still remained a power in the South-East Pacific, and was kept in service until the end of the war by Australian forces. It served with the BEF in France and later in North Africa, where it earned the title 'Queen of the Desert'.
Development and operational history are discussed, along with service in other countries, including Germany and Russia. In this title, David Fletcher deals with Marks I to V. Numerous variants are also covered, including the prototype 'Hedgehog' bunker-busting weapon.
