This is the highest quality footage I have ever seen of the Mark VIII. A must see for those of us who love tanks.

Very cool! That guy running in front of it must be half crazy though!

Very cool but must read super fast!

There’s a good BBC series, “Our World War”. Although episode 3 deals with a crew the Mk V, (and how they broke the battle of Somme), it presents a good, up close look into the day to day operation of these land ships.

I liked the guard with the rifle and the white spats pacing that beast through the field.

Interesting.

No road wheels or support rollers.

I wonder if they had a lot of problems throwing track?

Hey baby. Wanna go for a ride in my tank? I can run over some trees and we can watch the enviroweenies freak-out.

That was fun to watch. Such great clarity. For a discussion of WW II U.S. tanks, the best is probably Death Traps: The Survival of an Armored Division in World War II by Belton Y. Cooper.

Cool video - best I have seen.

Here's photos I dug up on various sites.
