	Tanks - LoveToKnow 1911
		The success of the tanks at Cambrai on Nov. 20, and all that it implied, gave as much food for thought as had the first use of gas by the Germans in 1915, unattended, however, by the horror of the means employed on the first occasion when a surprise penetration was effected by either side.
		American Tanks Though the tank had not accomplished much in the way of results by the time that the Americans came into the war, in April 1917, its military potentialities were at once appreciated by them, while its mechanical side appealed to their national genius.
		The tanks had to travel far from their positions of assembly to the battle, and on the first day they operated over such difficult ground that they did not catch up with the infantry, who were able to move forward rapidly owing to the comparatively feeble resistance of the enemy.

	Light Tank Mark VI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The idea of a "stealth" tank, of which the speed and the lowered silhouette would insure a better protection than a heavy armor was a world succes.
		With its several versions, the Mark VI were the most built tankettes of the British Army.
		Similar to the Mark V for the rest.

	Mark I tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mark VI was a project with a gun in the front of a completely redesigned hull without sponsons.
		Mark IV tanks were used at the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele) in Mid 1917, but without great success due to the mud.
		During the Battle of Amiens in August 1918 Mark V tanks with the new Whippet tank penetrated the German lines in a foretaste of modern armoured warfare.

	Tiger I
		Conversely, these opposing tank types were unable to penetrate the armor of the Mark VI if firing from a range greater than 500m.
		Of perhaps some controversy is the argument that a Mark VI was capable of destroying a M4 Sherman[?] at ranges in excess of 3500m, however, Shermans were not capable of penetrating the Mark VIs fore and side armor, even at pointblank range.
		The tank had armor up to 110mm thick and was the first tank to have interleaving road wheels[?] with torsion bar suspension[?], which improved load distribution.

	Tsar Tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tsar Tank (also known as the Netopyr (Нетопырь, Pipistrellus bat) or Lebedenko Tank) was an unusual Russian armored vehicle developed in 1914–1915.
		The project was scrapped after initial tests deemed the vehicle to be underpowered and vulnerable to artillery fire.
		The tank was different from modern tanks in that it didn't use caterpillar tracks—rather, it used a tricycle design.

	Churchill Infantry Tank
		The Mark I was armed with a 2-pounder gun in the turret and a 3-inch howitzer mounted on the hull.
		From the time they entered service in mid-1942, the Mark I and II tended to be outgunned by German tanks, but their ability to climb hills served them well in the closing phases of the North African campaign.
		Its successor, the Mark V, was fitted with a 95-millimetre howitzer, but the Mark VI and VII returned to the format of the 75-millimetre gun.

	Main Battle Tank - www.canadiansoldiers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Tank designations during the Second World War generally focused on the weight of the vehicle and/or the thickness of its armour, dividing tanks into "light", "medium" and "heavy" classifications.
		Tank classification in the Second World War was done at first by intended role, and then by weight (though the designations "light", "medium" and "heavy" generally refer to a combination of firepower, armour protection, and speed in addition to physical size).
		The first tank formation of the Canadian Army to arrive overseas was the 1st Canadian Army Tank Brigade (consisting of the 11th, 12th, and 14th Canadian Army Tank Battalions), landing in the UK in July 1941.

	Great Britain's Light Tanks
		Having a strong resemblance to the British Light Tank Mark IV of WW2 North Africa fame, the main difference was in the shape of the turret, and the suspension.
		The Mark IIB was equipped with one large tank mounted toward the rear.
		This tank was built a bit on the heavy side of light tanks of the period as it came complete with a 37mm main gun and five.30cal machine guns (what other "light" tank can claim that).

	sociology - Tiger I
		The tank had front armor up to 100 mm thick, with 80 mm on the sides and back of hull and turret; to simplify production flat sections were used where possible, with interlocking and welding rather than bolted joints.
		The failure to field a similar heavy tank was due in part to a powerful lobbying effort by the manufacturers of tank destroyers, German agents embedded within the U.S. government and military working against this, the shortcomings of the earlier M6 tank, and extensive delays in planned heavy tank development.
		In response to the Tiger, and in continuation of their earlier heavy tanks, the IS-2 with a 122 mm gun was eventually fielded.

		The Light tanks were to be used for Reconnaissance; Infantry tanks would support the Infantry while being slow and heavily armored; Cruiser tanks were designed to be fast and used for mobile warfare.
		By 1940, 1218 Mk VI series tanks were produced; of which, the Mk VI B was the most numerous, totaling 874 vehicles.
		The Mk VI, VIA, and VIB all were armed with one.303 inch and.5 inch Vickers machineguns.

	Developing the Tank
		Highly vulnerable to mechanical breakdowns, fourteen tanks never made it to the starting point and as the day progressed most of the tanks were crippled due to mechanical failures, unsuitable ground and artillery fire.
		The Mark III was equipped with thicker armor to counter Germany’s development of armor-piercing bullets.
		The British continued building heavy tanks as well, including the Mark V, Mark VI, Mark VII and a joint U.S.-British project on the Mark VIII or “International.” The U.S. accepted an order to build 1,200 Renault FT-17 light tanks, and the Ford Motor Company agreed to develop a two-man light tank for the U.S. Army.

		The basic mark v1 hull was very similar to the Vickers Light Tank Mark V but with a redesigned turret.
		The Vickers Light Tanks were in service before world war two, and some may have served in the middle east and in india, along with the earlier marks of the light tank family.
		Light tanks also served on Malta, on Crete and in Greece, as the vehicles deployed two the latter to fronts where taken from the western desert force, they would have been in either light stone no. 61, or the caunter scheme.

	Valentine Mark VI Closeup Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Valentine, Infantry Tank Mark III, was designed as a private venture by Vickers in 1938, submitting the plans to the War Office around Valentine's Day (hence the name).
		Over 8,000 tanks were produced in the UK from 1940 through 1944, and an additional 1,420 were produced at Canadian Pacific's Montreal Locomotive Works (Mark VI and VII), all but 30 of which were shipped to the Soviet Union as Lend-Lease.
		The subject of these photographs is a very early production Mark VI (essentailly similar to the Mark I and Mark II, except for the engine, a GMC 6 cylinder diesel, and some fittings) used to train Canadian armoured troops, on display in Worthington Park, CFB Borden, Ontario.

	Great Britain's Heavy Tanks
		The Mark 1 made it's maiden journey into combat at the battle of the Somme in 1916 and let the world know that it was a new idea here to stay when it entered the battle of Arras in 1917.
		After these battles the tank was gradually replaced by the Mark V. The Mark IV was the culmination of all knowledge earned from the previous vehicles and their applications.
		The Mark V was designed in October 1917 and manufactured by the Metropolitan Carriage and Waggon Company LTD. The Tank Mk V was the last of the lozenge-shaped tanks to see service in any number.

		A German tank would have had a hard time coming around that curve, but it wasn't a job to be relished because an M-7 (a self propelled 105mm gun) with its thin armor and 600 mil traverse is no match for any kind of a tank, let alone a Mark VI.
		Nothing seemed to be wrong when all of a sudden about a dozen Mark VI tanks came charging out of the woods and over the flat ground to the road.
		Whitten was in a ditch near the peep when an 88 hit the tank in front of the peep and a fragment hit his side.

	Allied Armoured Fighting Vehicles
		Whippet tanks were designed for use as raiders in conjunction with cavalry, Generally the Whippets were to precede the cavalry in order to silence machine guns, deal with wire and generally to pave the way.
		The tank was discovered in the Exhibition grounds in Toronto and obtained by General Worthington for the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Training Center from the directors of the CNE.
		This was one of the veteran tanks which fought in an action on the ROYE ROAD near YPRES salient on August 7th, 1918, an action in which General Worthington took part with his battery of the Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade during which he won the Military Cross.
