Paperback. Zustand: Good. The most powerfully gunned tank fielded by the Allies during World War II was the Sherman Firefly.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Matilda was the principal British infantry tank in the early years of World War II. It served with the BEF in France and later in North Africa, where it earned the title 'Queen of the Desert'.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.
