As we have #firepowerfriday, here is a mildly amusing cartoon from 1942, that probably was a lot less funny if you were a Boys anti-tank rifle operator in the British Army, crouching in a slit trench in Libya while a German or Italian tank motored towards your position.

As it is #firepowerfriday, here’s a lit recruitment video for the UK tank corps prior to #WW2. General Martel sounds as I would have expected.

Yes folks, it’s #followersfriday or sumfink or #firepowerfriday and to celebrate here’s a picture of the #besttankofthewar being made even better by adding a big boom-boom gun. It was so amazing that it was considered unfair to drive at Nazis with the gun pointing at them. British fair play that is.
A good post for #FirepowerFriday !
#FirepowerFriday again folks. Enjoy!
The guided missile cruiser USS Galveston (CLG-3) fires a three six-inch gun salvo in 1968 (projectiles can be seen upper left hand corner). In the 1986 film TOP GUN, Maverick's G-1 leather flight jacket includes a USS Galveston “Far East Cruise ’63–4” patch.
