Doyle.Though only 100 examples were produced, the M12 &#8212 America’s first heavy self-propelled artillery gun &#8212 became so coveted on the battlefield that a successor was quickly needed. This illustrated profile examines that weapon, the M40, and its Howitzer-equipped M43 variant, and its usage during the latter stages of World War II and throughout the war in Korea. Readers will enjoy more than 200 photographs including both historic period shots and modern surviving examples! 112 pages, 209 color and B&W photos, 9″x 9″, hardcover.
