M60 Patton in Action - Armor No. 23 Paperback – January 1, 1986

Would have liked a few pictures of the crew positions. But I have noticed most of these books and I have quite a few do not really go into much of the inside. Maybe those photo's are being saved for the walk around series.

Great book! Brought back old memories. I served on M60a1's in Germany. Great pictures and it includes all variants of the M60 tank. Great addition to my armor collection. Highly recommend for old tread head tankers.

Well written, just wish it was written for the modeler

Great book for it's size...lots of info and pics!

For those who are familiar with the work of Jim Mesko and Squadron/Signal publications (particularly the "in action" series), this will not disappoint. "M60 Patton in Action" is a detailed and informative look at the late model Pattons. Criticism levied at the amount of color photography in the book should be taken with a grain of salt given that the tank entered service in the early 1960s and source material available between 1960 and 1986 (when the book was published) was probably largely limited to black and white military photography. Color plates and paintings supplement the b&w photography, diagrams and text well.

A very good look at past battle tanks and different features of them. Only major flaw: front and back cover are color and everything inside is black & white
