In the homage to David Fletcher

This portrait is my personal contribution to the fitting tribute given to historian David Fletcher. The tribute is performed on the occasion of his retirement on December 21, 2012, after 30 years at The Tanks Museum (formerly The Bovington Tank Museum).

Mr. David Fletcher MBE is, very probably, the greatest researcher and historian of the British Tanks and Armoured Cars of the First World War. 

His book WAR CARS * is the primary and indispensable reference on the history of British armored cars in the First World War. This book, along with his vast production of published works (especially on the tanks of the WWI) and its recent publication "The Rolls-Royce Armoured Cars" (Osprey New Vanguard 189. 2012), make more than deserved, by their readers, this homage.

Este retrato es mi aportación personal al merecido homenaje que se le dispensa al historiador David Fletcher. El homenaje se realiza con motivo de su jubilación, el 21 de Diciembre de 2012, después de 30 años de trabajo en The Tanks Museum (antes The Bovington Tank Museum).

Mr. David Fletcher MBE es, muy probablemente, el mayor investigador e historiador de los carros de combate y los coches blindados británicos de la Primera Guerra Mundial.  

Su libro WAR CARS* es la principal e imprescindible referencia sobre la historia de los Coches Blindados Británicos de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Este libro, junto a su extensa producción de obras publicadas (especialmente sobre los carros de combate de la 1ª G.M.) y su reciente publicación "The Rolls-Royce Armoured Cars" (Osprey, New Vanguard 189. 2012), hacen más que merecido, por parte de sus lectores, este homenaje.
