Description
[Machine Translation] Inspired by the tanks that appeared in World War I, the Japanese Army imported more than 20 French Renault FT-type light tanks starting in 1919. The FT-type tanks, equipped with a layout that would become the prototype for modern tanks, became the mainstay of the Japanese Army's tank corps immediately after its establishment. In 1927, the Japanese Army decided to adopt the new Renault NC-27 as a bridge tank until the Type 89 Light Tank, and imported 23 tanks; the NC-27 became the "Renault Type B Light Tank," and the FT was renamed the "Renault Type A Light Tank. This book provides detailed descriptions of the "Renault Light Tanks" of the A and B types operated by the Japanese Army and the Fiat 3000 light tanks produced by the Italians based on the FT type, using rare photographs collected by the author. The book also includes many photographs of the tanks on battlefields and training grounds, as well as images of the tanks with their tank crews. A must-read for fans of Japanese armored forces and French tanks.
