Evolution of the Tank
Permalink   

Found a really interesting article in the archive of the Illustrated London News today - http://www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com/item/tanks-of-other-days-old-time-forts-on-wheels-iln0-1916-1021-0011-001/

 

It shows how tanks have evolved through the ages and how the principle of a protective war machine was thought up as long ago as the 5th Century.

There are two pages - check out the links I posted here:

Incidentally, many of these vehicles and devices were modelled by J Pickering for the Tank Museum. I imagine he used this very article as inspiration.
