Sir Rear-Admiral Murray Sueter

The Evolution of the Tank Sir Rear-Admiral Murray Sueter

This is an important title from a noted pioneer of naval aviation and of the early development of the tank. Sueter became Secretary of the Landships Committee. He was one of the Naval officers most closely involved in the establishment of the first Armoured Car Force. Contains useful information including the performance of tanks in action, also covering post-WW1 development.

This naval involvement in the tank's development explains such nautical tank terms as hatch, hull, bow and ports.

As might be expected, after being relieved of command in 1917, his tone is highly controversial. After leaving the Royal Navy he advised the United States and France on the development of armour.
