Sherman Firefly
Tank Sherman Firefly byla britská verze amerického tanku M4 Sherman. Na rozdíl od originálu byl vyzbrojen britským kanónem QF 17-pounder ráže 76,2 mm. Nejčastější pohonnou jednotku představoval motor Chrysler Multibank. Britské Shermany měla ve výzbroji i Československá samostatná obrněná brigáda.
The Sherman Firefly was a tank used by the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth and Allied armoured formations in the Second World War. It was based on the US M4 Sherman, but fitted with the powerful 3-inch (76.2 mm) calibre British 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Originally conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the 17-pounder in the war.
