Earning its stripes in the jungles and highlands of Vietnam, it became the most widely armored vehicle of the campaign. Such was its prowess that the Viet Cong gave it the nickname Green Dragon on account of its ability to go virtually anywhere.</p><p>Its groundbreaking aluminum hull gives the M113 a relatively low weight of 12ts, this allows it to be easily transported by air and gives it an amphibious ability. The design was also easy to modify and can carry a range of support and indirect fire weapons. From mortars to ballistic missiles, the M113 spawned a progeny of useful and innovative vehicles.</p><p>The base M113 is lightly armored and safe against only the lightest of small arms fire and shell splinter. As a result a range of up-armor packages have been used in the past, from sandbags to complex appliqué armur.</p><p>80,000 M113s of all types have been produced and are in use with over 50 countries, making it one of the most widely used armored fighting vehicles to be produced. Indeed such was its popularity that the US bought their final M113s in as late as 2007.</p><p>The M113 was designed and developed by the Food Machinery Corporation (FMC) to replace the heavier and less reliable steel-bodied M59 and M75 armored personnel carriers. It was specifically designed to be lighter, air-portable and have amphibious capability. Carrying a crew of two, driver and commander, who manned the M113s only weapon, a .50cal machine gun, the M113 would transport 11 soldiers into combat before withdrawing to the rear.</p><p>Powered initially by a V8 petrol engine the M113 would be continuously up-engined throughout its frontline and subsequent rear support lifespan. Changes included improved suspension, smoke dischargers and externally fitted fuel tanks. Other changes have included armored commanders turrets and slat armor.</p><p>This LandCraft title looks at the M113s development where the FMC sought to utilize its chassis into as many roles as possible, from smoke generators to flamethrowers. The book also looks at how the M113 was adapted for use by numerous overseas customers and how these are upgraded to suit local conditions.</p><p>Finally the title looks at the M113s changing roles in the more sophisticated contemporary battlescape and how its still providing service in theatres across the world in a variety of roles, both combat and support.</p><p>For the modeler there is nothing more important than the little things and this image-rich section of Land Crafts M113 title delivers the goods. Filled with crisp photos that show the M113s many details, combined with helpful accompanying text, forms an enviable visual guide for the enthusiast and modeler alike.</p>...9781526789785_Pen and Swordlibro_electonico_921b7dce-0787-3a22-9749-edd268f4e977_9781526789785;9781526789785_9781526789785Ben SkipperInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/casematepublishers-epub-403bd31a-849f-4803-9017-d65446bd0e30.epub2021-03-23T00:00:00+00:00Pen and Sword
