I recently obtained a copy of "Tank Gun Systems" by William Andrews, isbn 1399042351, available from Amazon and similar.
This is a substantial book covering tank gun systems up to 1945 in considerable detail. The author gives technical descriptions of each gun, carriage , recoil system, sights, ammunition, controls and much more with lots of drawings and photographs. Unfortunately, some less popular guns and those used on tank destroyers are not covered but given the size of the book, the author probably had to stop somewhere. Any WW2 tank fan who likes to know all the details of the gun systems will find this book valuable.
