David Fletcher’s Tank Chats No.1: The A13 Cruiser

The Tank Museum has released a new video featuring tank expert and historian David Fletcher in the first of a series of “Tank Chats.”  This first episode takes a look at the A13 Cruiser tank.

Description from the youtube page: The A13 was the first British tank to have Christie Suspension. With a top speed of 40 miles per hour, it was much faster than the German Panzers, and had one of the best guns of its time. Despite this, many were lost in the battle for France in 1940. They fared better in the desert when their speed enabled them to cut off and defeat a huge Italian Army at Beda Fomm in Libya.
