French Language Book: The idea of putting a machine gun on a car chassis is as old as the automobile itself. At the very beginning, around 1900, the words used to designate this assembly were diverse: some spoke of automobile machine gun, others used the expression war automobile. Often these are simple torpedoes equipped with machine gun mounts like the famous Panhard-Genty sent to Morocco at the end of 1907. Others are already authentic armoured cars such as the CGV presented to the French army in 1906.
It was the Great War, which began in August 1914, which gave its definitive name to this new combat machine, with the word automitrailleuse and its derived form autocannon. Indeed, from October 1914, various touring chassis proved capable of supporting the firing of small 37 mm cannons supplied by the navy, crews included. Thus was born in France a new and very unique subdivision of arms, with sailors with red pompoms crisscrossing the front roads.
Passed more logically to the cavalry in 1916, this new equipment, mainly on Peugeot and Renault chassis, will await its moment of glory with each attempt to break the front. In this highly illustrated work, no model designed until 1918, series or prototype, is forgotten, each is treated giving first place to illustration, following a sequence structured by the rigor of analysis and synthesis.
