Pages 103-109 describes Enemy A.F.V. Characteristics. The rest of this pamphlet is about turreted A.F.Vs. with which British and Allied armoured units are equipt with.

Nice booklet about tank recognition. Reason of publication is made clear by the following quote from the introduction:
Battles are more often than not won or lost by small margins. A small section of a defensive position may be broken if those who man it mistake attacking enemy A.F.Vs. for their own. Similarly, an allied tank counter-attack may be shattered by being mistaken for enemy tanks by our own troops.

Fromer owner of this copy was Lieut. Angelino, 100 RAC OCTU (Royal Armoured Corps, Officer Cadet Training Unit ), Sandhurst.

Booklet is in a good used condition.
