Historical Overview

The MK A Whippet was a British medium tank introduced into service in 1917, during the closing phases of the First World War. Designed to complement the heavier Mark I-IV tanks, the Whippet was intended to increase speed and mobility on the battlefield. It was widely used by the British during the breaking of German lines on the Western Front, including during the Amiens offensive in 1918. Notable for its four Hotchkiss machine guns and uniquely elongated hull, the Whippet was retired from service after the war, but its role in the development of armored warfare was highly significant for the military doctrines of the following decades.
