Volume One 'Drive Train and Hull' Panther Project from The Research Squad showed up today in the mail. Wow, I can't stop looking through it.
If mechanical detail is your flavor, then this is the book to satisfy that hunger. I have Speilbergers book which was the best (technically) in my opinion, but this one has everything in color with large photos, small text. Once the other volumes are printed the collection will be the premier reference volumes for the Panther tank.
There is also a link to the Weatcroft collection which has the Panther Manual online as well as many excellent hi-res photo's of other tanks in the collection.

I agree, but for an all-around reference the book by Jentz, "Germany's Panther Tank" is hard to beat.Sounds like this would be ideal for somebody who's planning a restoration project
