British Valentine Mk.II / IV

The light, compact Valentine was an infantry tank first used by British forces in 1940.
It was a welcome addition to the beleaguered British, who were forced into a desperate evacuation from Dunkirk, leaving valuable materiel behind.
With a total production of over 7000 vehicles (produced in Britain and Canada), the Valentine was the most widely produced British tank during World War II.
The Mk.II / IV variant was equipped with a 40mm Two Pounder gun and featured a 130hp diesel engine and a coil-sprung "slow-motion" chassis, which gave it great mobility for use as an infantry tank.
It first saw action in North Africa in November 1941 and was still in service in Tunisia in May 1943.
Valentines were also delivered in large numbers to the Soviet Union under the "Lend-Lease" program. They were used primarily as reconnaissance aircraft.
