Product Information
The Sherman DD (Duplex Drive) tank was designed by the Allies specifically for the D-Day landings; enveloped in a waterproofed canvas screen, the tank was launched at sea from landing craft and then 'swam' slowly to shore, where the screens were deflated, allowing the tanks to operate as fighting vehicles. Exploring the development and modifications of the Sherman DD, this book discusses its many variants, including the prototype Valentine DD tank and its role as a training tank in Britain and limited operational use in Italy, and examines the successes and tragic failures on the beaches of Normandy and further into North-West Europe, including the challenge of crossing the River Rhine.

Reviews
"Again the people at Osprey deserve great credit, they cover all the aspects of combat." -Alex Ness,popthought.com "There is particularly good coverage of the mechanical aspects of the flotation and dual-drive apparatuses of the tanks. The black and white photos and Tony Bryan's original color artwork contribute toward the reader's understanding of the workings of these vehicles.Swimming Shermansis an excellent study of one of the more innovative designs in WWII armor, and a tribute to the courageous crews who manned those tanks." -Military Vehicles "David Fletcher is a historian at the Tank Museum in Bovington, U.K. and has spent over forty years studying the development of British armoured vehicles during the two World Wars. This experience is apparent in his new study of the Sherman DD (duplex drive) amphibious tank of World War II. His direct contact with the extensive WWII armour collection at Bovington has clearly allowed him to attain a complete understanding of not only British prototypes, but American models as well..." -Dr. Aaron P Plamondon,Canadian Army Journal(Winter 2006) "I found this book to be quite interesting as it covers the DD's very well. From a modeller's standpoint, I think that some of the photo coverage is weak, as there just aren't quite enough detail photos...the color plates are quite good, especially the center spread which shows quite well how the flotation screen sets up. I highly recommend this book for armor modellers, especially, "Shermanaholics"." -Chris Hughes,Armorama(July 2006), "Again the people at Osprey deserve great credit, they cover all the aspects of combat." -Alex Ness, popthought.com "There is particularly good coverage of the mechanical aspects of the flotation and dual-drive apparatuses of the tanks.
