Big Bang Ricochet 008: France's AML-90 Armored Car

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is the first French entry into the Big Bang Ricochet product line, covering the Panhard AML-90 Armored Car.

The AML-90 is a well distributed military vehicle, with over 6,000 units serving around the globe, particularly in the second and third world nations of Africa and Central and South America. Rugged and armed with a 90mm cannon, the vehicle is well suited for the underdeveloped wilds of many of these nations. The vehicle serves mainly asreconnaissance and internal security vehicles, though a number of nations do use them as their primary form of armor in place of tanks. France itself used the AML-90 up until about a decade ago, when it was replaced by the newer AMX-10 fleet of vehicles, though some AML-90's remain in service as a French contribution to UN peacekeeping efforts.

The most prominent use of the AML-90 to date was its use in combat by South African forces against Cuban forces during the Angolan Civil War.

This book details four distinct versions of the AML-90, as manufactured or rebuilt by Argentina, France, Ireland, and South Africa. Also included are writeups of the GIAT CN-90-F1/DEFA D921 90mm low pressure tank gun and the MAS/GIAT AAT-52 machine gun.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
