NEW VANGUARD No 159 STAGHOUND ARMOURED CAR 1942-1962

The Staghound was a unique World War II armoured vehicle - designed and manufactured in the US, but intended solely for the British army. Since its combat debut in Italy in 1943 until the end of the war it had performed particularly valuable service in a reconnaissance role where its speed and armour ensured that it was able to extricate itself from trouble as required without additional support. This book examines the development of this category of armoured cars and offers a detailed analysis of the extensive combat use of the Staghound in British service as well as in the service of other Allied countries including Canada, New Zealand and Poland.
