About the Crusader Mk.III Anti-Aircraft Tank Mk.III
Although replaced on the front lines by more capable tanks, the British Crusader cruiser tankwas still useful in other roles. The Crusader Mk.III was used as a base to meet a requirement fora mobile anti-aircraft gun, resulting in the Crusader AA Mk.I, which featured a Bofors 40mmcannon mounted in an open topped turret. To better counter low-flying aircraft, the Crusader AAMk.II armed with two 20mm Oerlikon cannons was developed, which was slightly modified toresult in the Mk.III, which moved the radio to the hull to free up space in the gun turret. A total ofabout 600 AA Mk.II/Mk.III were produced and they served in Europe from Normandy onwards.
