{"product_id":"leopard-1-main-battle-tank-1965-95-new-vanguard-16","title":"Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank 1965–95 (New Vanguard, 16)","description":"Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the 'Standard-Panzer'. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the 'Standard' tank was officially named 'Leopard', an appropriate choice considering Germany's wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther. This book traces the development and service record of the Leopard 1, detailing its control systems, modifications and variants.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1855325209\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1855325209.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jerchel, Michael|Sarson, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
