What is probably the most striking thing about the story of the Rolls-Royce armored car is that for all their seeming ubiquity there were actually not that many of them, perhaps about 200, though that is probably a commentary on their durability and the relative poverty of the inter-war British armed forces.
Somewhat disappointed with this title; the narrative had a tendency to be dense, and you couldn't get a clear sense of the development of these tanks. Granted, the history was not straightforward to begin with. Illustrations, an Osprey strength, are good.
Another typically good number in the series by the author, as Fletcher covers the whole range of British medium tank development during the Great War; not just the so-called Whippet.
Rather better than its counterpart on British made tanks as it is more systematic and even in its coverage.
