Have anybody ever seen a decent book about the Valentine tank ? I´ve been looking for one for a while now, but the only one I´ve found so far is a Polish book for modellers, with Polish text.
post subject Very few books on Valentine, only two I know of are both by "Bryan Perret", one, maybe both published by "Ian Allen" in 1972. "British Tanks in North Africa 1940/42" "The Valentine in North Africa 1942/43"
MP, sure, if you find one. Thanks trackpin, I´ll do a search on those books. Is "British Tanks in North Africa 1940/42" the one published by Osprey, the old Vanguard series ?
I managed to dig up a couple of old Bellona Military Vehicle Prints, dating from the early seventies; No.34 ( Valentine, early marks ) and No.38 ( Valentine, late marks ). These were probaly aimed at the modeller, because the text is a bit sparse. Plenty of great pictures though. Now I´m looking for AFV Profiles No.6 ( Valentine ), which was published in 1968.
Thanks m kenny, this was new to me. I couldn´t find it in any of my regular webshops though. Do you know where I can purchase it ?
This series of booklets seem pretty common in the specialist bookshops I have seen. I think they have been sold on as remainders.
Guessing by the fact the price is in $ I assume it is more common in America? m kenny - do Darlington do similar publications for most AFVs? (nice picture on the cover, ain't it?)
Latest number I have is no.25. (2000) 10) Valentine 13) Matilda 17) M18 Hell Cat 18) Wespe 25) Cromwell The rest are mostly modern afv's and I do not know if this list of WWII titles is complete.
Thanks - I will have to search around for them. I take it you recommend them as useful & informative.
