The FV4030/4 Challenger 1 is a British main battle tank (MBT) used by
the British Army from 1983 to 2001.
This book provides the reader with the full and unvarnished story of the
origins, development, decades of service, and combat history of the
Challenger 1 Tank. The text is interspersed with numerous photographs,
many published for the first time, alongside color profiles and scale
plans, including those of rare and unusual variants. It also relates the
experiences of the crews who lived and worked on the Challenger 1, often
in the irreverent style typical of Army humor.
