Hello Guys
Since we all like unusual vehicles, I thought we could have a good discussion on these very strange WW1 Landship/ Battleship drawings dated 1917 and 1918. The first is the Aubriotand Gabet Landship: which runs on 4 sets of tracks.
Second is the Atherton Land Battleship:...
For those of you who like to see Landships move, the Imperial War Museum shop is still selling the Battles of the Somme on Ancre on VHS PAL. These are original silent WW1 documentaries, the Battle of the Ancre includes the earliest film of British tanks among lots of other material. Sadly they ar...

I aquired this 1987 CCCP book online. It's a little floppy paper book a good 100 or so pages long. The fabrication of the book is quite simple, no glossy pages, thin paper.

Here is a shot of two Ford machine gun platforms, U.S. army, c. 1916. The shot is from a "Kavanaugh war postal" titled 'Fords at the front'.
By 'front', though, they mean MEXICO. (Sorry. I guess that would be the far left flank of the Western Front.) Anyway, have a look.

After some friendly suggestion have been made here, regadring possible improvements of the Forum, I will now try and change some things. I will try to enable VOLUNTARY registration and log-in, and some other such stuff. (That will also give us Avatars, I think - if you know what that is.)

As we all know, Spain first aquired Schneider CA-1s, and FT-17s, and various armored cars for their military. It wasn't until around 1926 that they decided to try and make their own tank. They sought to improve the existing FT-17 tank. 6 "Trubia" tanks were produced, and 3 saw fighting in the Spanish c...
