Renault FT WW1 Light Tank Demonstration Test Video Vintage Footage Forerunner of M1917 (Silent)

Silent film of a demonstration of the Renault FT light tank. This innovative French tank was the first to have its gun mounted in a fully rotating turret. Over 3,000 Renault FT tanks were manufactured by French industry, most of them during the year 1918. Another 950 of an almost identical licensed copy of the FT (the M1917) were made in the United States, but not in time to enter combat.
