WELCOME TO
Since the outbreak of the First World War more than 100 years
ago, the technology powering the world’s military forces has
evolved at an unprecedented pace. The introduction of the first
tanks during the Great War marked the start of an arms race
that has continued to this day, and as we get our first glimpse
at the next generation of military machines, it’s incredible to
think how far technology has come.
In the History of War Book of Combat Machines, we chart the
history and development of these awesome military vehicles,
from the fearsome German Tiger tanks of the Second World
War, to the rise of the nuclear-powered submarine, to the hi-tech
fighter jets that now rule the skies across the globe.
We’ll show you all the facts and figures you need to become a
combat machine expert, as well as breaking down each vehicle
to give you an inside look at the technology that makes these
tanks, choppers and battleships tick.
Read on to discover how the combat machines of today were
made, and what the latest advances in technology will mean for
warfare in the years to come.
