Tank Chats #8 Renault FT-17
The Tank Museum has released the eighth video in their Tank Chats series staring David Fletcher. This episode focuses on the Renault FT-17
Conceived by General Jean-Baptiste Estienne and manufactured under the control of the Renault Company this was the world’s first mass-produced tank, 3800 being built in all.
They went into action for the first time on 31 May 1918 near Ploissy-Chazelle and proved very successful when they were used in numbers. British forces used a few Renaults as liaison vehicles while the United States Army used them in combat and copied the design.
