Reviews

[Jean-Vincent · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a collector's item than a true reference, especially in view of Hunnicut's "Sherman Bible". Yet the book has its worth for modelers and Sherman fans alike, and does give a reasonably accurate overview of the Sherman's operational career. It does suffer from a rather uninspired editing and lack of 3 view drawings.

Recommended to specialists and collectors.
