Marked for Success
Mobile yet defensively capable armored cars were a necessity for forces
in WWII, and the 7ton armored car filled that need amply for the
British:
featuring effective sloped armor, a fully-rotating turret and 4WD setup,
it managed a top speed of 72km/h from its 90hp 6-cylinder engine.
The Mk.IV was the final of its four variants and possessed the largest
gun, with an upgrade from the previous 15mm machine gun to a 37mm
weapon.
It was also the most prolifically produced, and around 2,000 Mk.IVs
rolled off the production line
and into units across North-West Europe and Italy in the latter stages
of WWII.
The Mk.IV was called upon as a reconnaissance vehicle and even a command
car. |
