SynopsisSoldiers that fly Tanks that fly Cruisers that . . . sink What Fight Have Been "My Tank Is Fight " contains a humorous and exciting examination of twenty real inventions from World War II that never saw the light of day. Each entry includes full technical details, a complete development history, in-depth analysis, and a riveting fictionalized account of the invention's success or failure on the battlefield. Lavish color artwork and technical illustrations are falling from the pages of this book like toenails from a trench foot. Dive under the Atlantic in the turreted U-Cruiser, or rule its surface from an aircraft carrier made out of ice. Shred bomber formations in a high-performance flying wing fighter and then rocket to your untimely end from the cockpit of your very own suicide missile. We've got a pair of German armored land vehicles for you that are so large they had to be powered by naval engines "My Tank Is Fight " delivers the thrilling action of the Second World War as it might have been with a touch of humor and a lack of class. Only the slow-witted are reading this anywhere other than in line at the cash register. Ask an adult to help you if you're still not sure you want to buy the book., Based on his article of the same name, "My Tank Is Fight!" is a witty examination of 20 real inventions from World War II that never saw the light of day. B&W illustrations throughout. 8-page color insert., A collection of some of the weirdest World War II inventions never seen - including unique original artwork - from the proprietor of SomethingAwful.com., A detailed and witty examination of 20 real inventions from WWII that never saw the light of day. Each entry includes full technical details, a complete development history, in-depth analysis, one or more illustrations and an acerbic fictionalised account of the invention's success or failure on the battlefield. These are the strangest inventions of WWII - from a 1000 ton tank to an aircraft carrier made out of ice - and for many of them, the original illustrations within are the only surviving images of the inspired lunacy they represent.
