	M26 Pershing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Heavy Tank M26 Pershing was an American tank used during World War II and the Korean War.
		The M26 also saw service in the Korean War, although few armored units were sent because the initial response from battlefield commanders was "Korea isn't good tank country." The official US Army history states a number of M26s were pulled from pedestals at Fort Knox, where they had been WWII memorials.
		The Pershing and its derivative M46 were the only American tanks employed in Korea that were better armed than the North Korean T-34/85 (but not the only ones in the UN forces) and were credited with almost half of T-34s destroyed by the US Armored Corps.

	M26 Pershing Tank - Military and Aircraft Scale Models
		The M26 heavy tank was developed as successor to the M4 Sherman at the end of WWII.
		The Pershing was first deployed to the European front on February 1945 as part of the invasion of the German homeland.
		In one offensive thrust to cross the Rhine, five supporting M26 Pershing tanks, out-dueling German tanks, rained shells onto the opposite side of the river bank, paving the way for ground troops who moved in to seize the bridge.

	Medium Tank M26 Pershing
		Although not standardized until March 1945, Pershings had been sent to the European Theater of Operations as T26E3s with the Zebra Mission in January 1945 (along with equipment including pilot models of the 155mm GMC M40 and 8" HMC M43).
		M26 was armed with the same 90mm gun as the M36 tank destroyer, and the GAF engine in the M26 was essentially the GAA of the medium tank M4A3 redesigned to present a lower height, even though M26 weighed almost 26,000lbs (12,000kg) more than M4A3.
		The drive sprocket of the M26 was mounted below the level of the track's upper run, and the engine exhaust escaped through an opening in the hull rear plate.

	M26 Pershing Walkaround Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The M26 Pershing, despite a controversial gestation, is one of the most important AFVs in military history, because every American postwar tank up to and including the M60 series can directly trace its lineage to the M26.
		This photo of the restored M26 on interior display at Fort Knox (there are at least half a dozen on display throughout the base) shows some variations in the castings around the machine gun; the texture of the armour is particularly prominent.
		Early M26s (including the one in the outside photographs) have a rounded housing in the center of the bow for a 400 cfm (cubic foot per minute) rotoclone blower, with a pair of auxiliary periscopes in the hull roof for the driver and assistant driver immediately outboard of the blower.

	M26 Pershing
		Predecessor of the M48, the M47 is a descendent of the M26 Pershing Tank.
		The Pershing tank was soon reclassified as a medium tank, and while it didn't have time to make any real impact in the Second World War, it served with distinction in the Korean War alongside the M4A3E8 Sherman.
		The M45 Pershing was based on an M26 hull and turret, with a short-barreled 105mm Howitzer replacing the long-barrel 90mm gun.

	Review: Tamiya 1/16th scale radio controlled M26 Pershing tank
		The Pershing comes with quite a lot of solid metal bearings; they go in the road wheel and support roller assemblies, so that nowhere is an all-plastic wheel riding directly on a metal axle and slowly wearing away.
		Most of the Pershing's parts come, as is normal for static and R/C scale models, on "trees" of sprue (not the tropical disease).
		While the Pershing isn't immune to drive system damage caused by foolish blundering through coarse gravel or thickets of sticks, if you drive it with care, there's not much in the way of garden terrain that it won't be able to conquer.

	M26 Pershing Review by Michael Bedard (Tamiya 1/35)
		The M26 Pershing was in development prior to June 6th but because of logistics and experience in Italy the program was not prioritized for implementation.
		The very first encounter was not glourious for the Pershings as 'Fireball' was knocked out at short range from a Tiger I. The Pershing did however go through the rest of the war with a good account of itself.
		In 1950 in Korea the Pershing was reclassified as M26 medium and did well against the T-34/85 employed by the North Koreans.

	M45 Pershing Page 1
		My miniature M45 Pershing Close Support Tank is made up of components from Tamiya's new M26 Pershing release, combined with MB Models' M45 Pershing 105mm Howitzer resin Turret and parts from DML's #6801 M26A1 Pershing model kit.
		Both Pershing miniatures from Tamiya and DML are great kits in their own rights - with the newer Tamiya kit sharper and possessing greater detail that the earlier DML releases as one would expect.
		Tamiya's M26 Pershing model kit is also missing the fender brace turnbuckles added to the series later after initial deployment to help keep the thin sheet metal fenders from drooping down and fouling the tracks.

		The power ratio of the M26 was approximately 12 horsepower per ton compared to 10 horsepower per ton on the M4; this made the M26 faster and more agile over rough terrain and steep inclines.
		The M26 tank was greeted enthusiastically by the field officers and combat commanders who had actually fought against the Germans in North Africa.
		Many observers at the time believed that had we had the M26 Pershing during the November 1944 offensive east of Aachen, we might have been able to break through the last vestiges of the Siegfried line, exit onto the Cologne Plain, and outflank the German troops building up in the Ardennes.

		The Pershing was used in the final phases of taking France and was used in the Battle of the Bulge.
		M26 Pershings used the same 450hp Ford GAA V8 engine as the later Shermans.
		The Super Pershing also had a 90mm L/100 high velocity gun that fired a HVAP round at 3350fps and could penetrate 221mm of 30deg sloped armor at 500m and 154mm of 30deg sloped armor at 2000m.

	M26 Pershing Walkaround Addendum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Upon publication of the previous images of the M26, I became aware of the terrible coverage I had of the suspension system.
		As can be seen, the sprocket is considerably different from the double-pinned version, with a complex series of holes in the track guide flanges, a much shallower hub centre, and a different pattern of depressions for the drive sprocket teeth.
		As mentioned, the M26 had two types of travel locks, and the M26A1 and M46 a third type.

	M26 Pershing Medium Tank (USA)
		The M26 Pershing Heavy Tank entered service in 1945 and saw limited combat in Germany where it was able to contend with the German PzKpfw V and VI (Panther and Tiger) tanks on a more equal footing than the M4 Sherman.
		The T26E3 with the 90mm gun was adopted as the Army's standard tank in January 1945 under the designation of M26 Heavy Tank with the name 'Pershing' after the founder of the US Tank Corps in World War 1, General John J Pershing.
		In all, almost 2,500 M26 Pershing medium tanks were built with around 800 being converted into M46 Patton tanks.

	Osprey New Vanguard 35 : M26/M46 Pershing Tank 1945-1953
		Although it took time to develop by the latter months of the war numbers of M26 Pershing tanks were reaching the frontline US armoured units.
		The frustration was that political in-fighting had delayed the arrival of the Pershing in the frontline until January 1945, with them seeing their first action in February.
		The Pershing and its 'cousin' the M46 Patton went on to see much more widespread service in Korea where along with upgraded variants of the M4 it provided the backbone of the US armoured formations.

		At the close of World War II Pershing production stopped at the Detroit Arsenal and slowed at other government arsenals, but at the outbreak of the Korean War full production began.
		During the war the fast and well-armed M26 performed well against Soviet tanks used by the North Koreans.
		The 1945 M45 with a larger 105mm gun and the 1948 M46 with a more powerful engine were both variations of the original M26.

	M26 Pershing Review by Cookie Sewell (Tamiya 1/35)
		While it appears this was an offshoot of their 1/16 scale program, it still has resulted in a very nice kit with some novelties.
		Pershings had very large and obvious casting marks, part numbers and serials, and all are missing from the turret and mantelet.
		This is a nice kit, but considering DML has had its excellent kits out there for several years now (and re-released them to coincide with the release of this kit) it may not sell as well as hoped.

		The M26 was the first US heavy tank to see extensive action, and was born of the realization that the Sherman was far outclassed.
		An excellent tank, it was not introduced to combat units until 1945, woefully late to help the thousands of US tankers killed as they fought across Europe in Shermans.

	TAMIYA 1/35 U.S. MEDIUM TANK M26 "PERSHING"
		In January of 1945 the first 30 were shipped to Europe where they were assigned to the 3rd and 9th Armored Divisions of the 21st U.S. Army, and were used by the latter unit in the advance on the Ramagen Bridge on March 7th, 1945.
		By the end of March, 210 had been shipped, and by the end of the war there were 310 in Europe.
		The M26 chassis formed the basis for a number of self-propelled equipments, most of which were never taken into service, and the experiences gained with these vehicles formed the foundation for the subsequent U.S. development which led to the M60 series of tanks.

		The Pershing was a match for both the PzKpfw V Ausf.

		This can be inserted into any of the holes in the cast spring housing and cradle in the centre to lock the gun in elevation.The Olive Drab cradle, mount, and ammunition tray stand in stark contrast to the blued steel finish of the gun itself, while the fl grips are also apparent.
		Notice the seams, especially where it covers the lifting lugs on the turret and the mantlet, and how metal strips are secured with hex bolts over the edges to secure the cover to the tank.
		The commander's vision cupola on the M26 is the same as that seen on later production M4 Sherman variants and, as can be seen, is quite complicated in construction.
