Airborne Armour Tetrarch, Locust, Hamilcar And The 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment 1938-50

Despite all the works on airborne forces published since 1945, the full story of Britain's 'airborne armour' has remained untold. The story has two main strands--the project to fly tanks onto the battlefield to support airborne forces, and the history of the unit which operated those tanks and supported 6th Airborne Division in the ground role--the 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. The book is the result of considerable original research and contact with surviving members of 6th AARR. It contains the full development background of both airborne tanks, the British Tetrarch and American Locust, and also that of the Hamilcar glider.Flint, Keith is the author of 'Airborne Armour Tetrarch, Locust, Hamilcar And The 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment 1938-50', published 2004 under ISBN 9781874622376 and ISBN 187462237X.
