THE CENTURION IN DANISH SERVICE - Trackpad Publishing

Description: THE CENTURION IN DANISH SERVICE - Trackpad Publishingby Kim Hartvig Sorensen, 219 pages illustrated throughout in color and b/w The Centurion tank was the workhorse of the British Army’s tank squadrons for twenty years or more. The tank and its different specialised versions were used up to the end of the 20th Century, and into the 21st. Very little has been published about the daily use of the tank, particularly by the Danish Army. The aim of this work has not been to rewrite all the information about the standard vehicles but, based on contemporary primary sources of the time, describes the Danish part of the Centurion story from the early 1950. Centurion was the Danish Army’s first modern main battle tank and became the backbone of Danish armoured formations during the Cold War up to 1976 when the Leopard 1 replaced Centurion in the armoured brigades of the Jutland Division. The Centurion kept soldiering on in the armoured brigades on Zealand up to the beginning of the 1990s. Denmark used the Centurion Main Battle Tank, the Armoured Recovery Vehicle and the Armoured Vehicle Launched Bridge versions. The main battle tank was updated in relation to gunnery in the middle of the 1980s. Then, its ability to fight in the hours of darkness and with laser rangefinding, its gunnery was improved.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
