Osprey - Tiger I Heavy Tank 1942-45

By Tom Jentz and Hilary Doyle

A detailed look at probably the most famous tank of the World War II.

The Tiger I was conceived in 1941 in response to the German Army's experience in fighting British tanks and anti-tank guns in Western Europe and the North African desert. The Tiger's performance and power on the battlefield is emphasised by tables throughout the book, which clearly show the battlefield suitability of the Tiger and its clear superiority to many allied tank designs. This comprehensive and extremely detailed text is accompanied by a fine selection of black and white photographs showing the tank in use.
