The Tank Museum has announced the latest book in its ‘guide to’ series, The Tank Museum Guide to Daimler Ferret.
Built between 1952 and 1972, the Ferret Armoured Car accompanied British forces in every major post-war deployment for over 40 years. It also served with the RAF regiment on airfield protection duties.
Written by acclaimed author Pat Ware, this new title offers a comprehensive exploration of the history, development, operational use, and enduring legacy of what is arguably the most successful armoured car ever produced.
The book covers the idea for a ‘new’ armoured scout car in a 1947 War Office Policy Statement to its last active service with the British Army in the first Gulf War of 1990-91 and its continued use with armed forces around the world until 1996.
Assistant Marketing Manager, Gemma Butler, said: “This exciting new read gives enthusiasts a chance to delve into the history and uses of this iconic British Armoured Car.
“Joining our existing series of self-published books, this book contains fascinating details about what gave the Ferret the reputation as a vehicle that could follow and find the enemy wherever they went.”
The Tank Museum Guide to Daimler Ferret can be pre-ordered exclusively from tankmuseumshop.org. pre-order for £30 from tankmuseumshop.org. Orders placed before 28 March allow the customer to have their name printed in the acknowledgements section.
