Cruiser Tank AC I Sentinel


With a threat of a Japanese invasion looming, the Australian Ministry of Munitions considered building tanks. The Australian AC I (Australian Cruiser) was the resultant of this effort. The first AC I Sentinel, armed with a 2-pounder OQF gun was built in January 1942. A total of 66 were built before cancellations came when American tanks became available.
