Kingtiger Heavy Tank 1942-45: No.1 (New Vanguard)

A very good book from osprey. Its packed with information despite being only 48pages, has very fine and neat coloured plates and also has some valuable information on the tiger specs.(+)- Colour plates- Detailed information given on the various parts of the tank: transmission, cooling, deep fording techniques, etc.- Specs and performance tables which gives you a range of Tiger II vs others tanks likely outcome (e.g. at which range a Churchill could take a tiger on the side, etc.)- Very detailed specs e.g. petrol comsumption ( 500 l of benzin per 100km for the Tiger II !)- Probably one of the best tank cut/away section I have seen in an osprey book. Its clear and very detailed. Although the folding of the page in the middle ruins a bit everything.(-)- Description of the Tiger II in operation which is a bit dull and not very informative in the end- No lively battle account or extract of tanker journal, etc.- The start of the book where the author explains at lengths why this or this turret was chosen. Found it unclear and perhaps not the place in such a book for such detailed information.Overall a decent purchase and overall good presentation/introduction to the Tiger II King Tiger Heavy Tank

Another excellent Osprey WWII armoured fighting vehicle book. This one provides an overview of the German Tiger II tank , sometimes known as the King Tiger. Well illustrated with period black and white photos and modern colour plates this book is both interesting and informative. Highly recommended.

The book was very good,one.reason was 2019 I stood at the side of a king tiger when I went to the battle of the bulge,and this described it perfectly,a awesome tank.

The real deal!
