Bonnesen, Claus. On Armour. 20 January 2000. Available [Online]: <http://www.mobilixnet.dk/~mob75281/index.htm> [7 September 2000]. This site was an invaluable resource for the penetration data of most non-Soviet guns. What made it particularly useful was that Claus has drawn his data from many books and determined a best estimate of the figures where different data is presented, and has quoted all his sources. He also has a few pages dealing with the different criteria used to measure penetration data which I have duplicated on this site. On Armour also presents detailed data on a few selected tanks which is well presented and being slowly expanded. Claus has kindly given permission for some of his photographs to be used on this site.
