According to wiki: link
"Sherman V – M4A4 with 75 mm M3 L/40 gun and Chrysler A57 multibank 30-cylinder "cloverleaf" petrol engine in a longer rear hull with more widely-spaced bogies" I thought the A4 was primary a Lend-Lease version along with the A2 Diesel which was also used by the USMC in the Pacific. |

Bonjour Jemima Fawr, Your Sherman "summary" is very helpful as although I'm not entirely dim, I find Sherman model types somewhat perplexing. In this I believe that I'm in good company as Winston Churchill struggled with this as well. I just wondered if there is an "Idiots Guide" which illustrates the various Sherman types with ideally both line-drawings and pictures, and, if there is whether you or some other kind person can tell me where to acquire it? Cheers, Paul |
