It has enough ideas to build dozens of tank models, vignettes and dioramas, including some outright oddball modified vehicles and field experiments.” – Armorama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe markings on tanks of the United States Marine Corps during World War II are so varied that some have concluded they were meaningless, even anarchic. Official documents offer little insight, but a careful study of period photographs and film, cross-referenced with combat reports and veteran accounts, reveals the different systems of markings that combat units used to identify their vehicles. These markings varied between units, and from one campaign to the next, but were well thought out and designed to be practical and easy for tankers to interpret. In addition to tactical markings, most tankers were given names by their crews, and these were added to the tank’s marking. Personifying the tank often boosted crew morale and led to even more careful maintenance of the tank. Names were approved by tank commanders, and also followed systems that aided quick identification in combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated with numerous period photographs and detailed color profiles, this book explains the markings used by USMC tank combat units during the Pacific War, from 1942 to 1945., each chapter details one unit, covering markings down to section level and showing how the markings and names changes through that unit’s campaigns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1 1ST TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2 THE TANK SECTIONS OF THE DEFENSE BATTALIONS\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3 1ST CORPS TANK BATTALION (MEDIUM)\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4 2ND TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5 3RD TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6 TANK COMPANY, 4TH MARINES\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7 2ND SEPARATE TANK COMPANY\/TANK COMPANY, 22ND MARINES\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8 4TH TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9 5TH TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 10 6TH TANK BATTALION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDICES\u003cbr\u003e1 Structure and Organization of Marine Corps Tank Units\u003cbr\u003e2 Markings for Aerial Observers, 1943-1945\u003cbr\u003e3 History of the Marine Corps Armored Corps\u003cbr\u003e4 The Marine Corps Campaigns in the Pacific\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casemate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59880761950289,"sku":"1636245862","price":65300.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/81YO8pprjGL.jpg?v=1785170053","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/libro-usmc-tank-markings-in-the-pacific-casemate-illustrated-special","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
