ARMOUR IN PROFILE # 9

T-34/76

(J.M. BRERETON)

This series was started back in the late 1960s and takes the form of a small format, soft cover booklet with 12 or more pages.  Illustrations are generally black & white photographs (though some later ones had some colour) with two or more pages of colour profiles.  In addition, summaries of vehicle specification, performance and armament are detailed along with plan drawings in some instances.  Many of these booklets can still be a useful reference tool and are highly sought-after little books are an invaluable resource for military historians, modellers, and restorers alike.
