Overview

This is the second volume in the 'Origins of Armour' series, which explores designs for armoured vehicles before 1915. These were designs that were often ignored or even ridiculed at the time and in many cases have been forgotten. Nevertheless, they have much to tell us about how ideas with regards to armoured vehicles developed. Each volume in this series places the design within its historical context, and examines in detail the vehicle's armour, armament, and means of propulsion. Its practicality as a viable weapon of war is also analysed. This volume examines a design patented at the beginning of the 20th Century by two inventors from Illinois. These two men, Mark Bowman and William Hughes, designed an armoured gun carriage that they hoped would combine firepower with protection.
