Combining detailed technical analysis, historical context, and exclusive museum-based research, this manual is an essential resource for military historians, modelers, and tank enthusiasts seeking to understand the Panther’s design, operational challenges, and legacy. ## Description Regarded by many as one of the greatest tanks ever built, the German Panther is probably the finest medium tank of the Second World War and certainly the most numerous German panzer in wartime service, with some 7,000 built. It combined firepower, armour protection and mobility that was unmatched by any other tank of the period. In the Panther Tank Owners' Workshop Manual, author Mark Healy looks at the development, construction and fighting qualities of the Panther, as well as including insights into what it was like to operate and maintain. He focuses on surviving Panthers at the German Armour Museum in Munster (Panther Ausf A) and the later Panther Ausf G at the Tank Museum, Bovington, as his centrepieces and draws on a range of documentary and photographic information sources in Germany, the USA and France. Review: A Good Read - Like many other folk, I've been fascinated by the Panther since I bought the Airfix kit back in 1964. This book does well in explaining explaining its checkered history. Designed from the outset to counteract the Soviet T-34, it suffered many faults due to overengineering and parts not being fully tested before main production particularily in the drive train and because of the many design changes during its development and operational history to attempt to counteract the original faults. Heinz Guderain called the Panther his 'problem child' for good reason. Hitler wanted it yesterday, you didn't argue with Hitler - ! Yes, there aren't enough detail photos, but when the Tiger 1 and PzKfw 3 manuals were compiled, the authors had the benefit of photos taken from the complete rebuilds done by the Tank Museum to call on. Not so with the Panther. The late Aufs G Panther there is a non runner with many internal & external parts missing. There are several good shots of the late Aufs G with the thickened 'chin' on the mantlet and others of the Aufs F, or Panther 2 with the Schmalturm which never reached production and a rare one of the model of the DB prototype, explaining why it wasn't selected over the MAN design. Nothing to do with it looking 'too much like the T-34' Overall , a good book.
