French FT-17 Light Tank (Riveted Turret)
In September 1916, the revolutionary British Mark I tank was first used in combat, ushering in a new era of
mechanized warfare. Almost at the same time, French tanks Schneider CA1 and Saint Chamond went into service as
well. But their performance disappointed the French Army due to their cumbersome bodies and very poor passing
ability. Colonel Jean-Baptiste Eugene Estienne (1860-1936), who's known as the father of French tanks, proposed to
develop a less expensive light tank with good passing ability. The tank could also be used for accompanying the
infantry into combat.
In June 1916. Colonel Estienne contacted Louis Renault to convince him to develop a new tank, but Mr. Renault
refused. The reason was that it's quite difficult for the Renault company to do so since they were never involved in
tank development before. However, Mr. Renault accepted this request at last. In October of the same year, Mr.
Renault showed a full-scale wooden mock-up of the tank to Colonel Estienne. Many revolutionary designs of this tank
were created by the talented designer Rodolphe Ernst Metzmaier (1887-1985). Though the new design was
technically far more advanced than other countries' tanks, top officials of the French Army refused to approve the
project or allocate funds because they had more interest in the Char 2C super-heavy tank. Consequently, Colonel
Estienne appealed to General Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre (1852-1931), Commander in Chief of the French Army,
for support. At last, the Army agreed the production of a prototype.
The first prototype was unveiled in January 1917 and it passed the workmanship test in February. In March, it was
officially designated as "Type M.17.FT", better known as "FT-17" later.
In April 1917, Estienne decided for tactical reasons that some vehicles should be capable of carrying the small
cannon. The 37mm Puteaux SA18 gun was chosen, and attempts were made to produce a cast steel turret capable
of accommodating it, but it was unsuccessful. The first 150 FTs were for training only and weren't put into service. By
June 1917, 3500 FT-17s had been ordered. Meanwhile, the Automobiles M. Berliet SA Company had produced a new
design, a polygonal turret of riveted plate, which was simpler to produce than the early turret. It was given the name
"omnibus", and it could easily be adapted to mount either the 8mm Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun or the 37mm
Puteaux SA18 gun with its telescopic sight. This turret could meet the tactical requirement that Colonel Estienne
called for and was fitted to production models in large numbers in September of this year. This riveted turret was
replaced by a new cast turret with riveted and welded construction later.
FT-17s were formally put into service in the French Army in March 1918. By the end of WWI (November 1918), 3530
FT-17 tanks (including its variants) had been built. Later, FT-17s were manufactured, improved or copied by France,
the US, Italy and the Soviet Union. Some 6000 FT-17s were built in all (including the US's copy of FT-17 - the 6-ton
M1917 tank and the Soviet Union's copy-the MS-1/T-18 tank). Over 4100 of them were produced in France.
The FT-17s were used by 27 countries (France, the US, the Soviet Union, Germany, China, Finland and so on). Those
tanks were used in many conflicts, such as the two World Wars, Russian Civil War, Polish-Soviet War, Winter War
between the Soviet Union and Finland and so on.
The FT-17s saw their first combat at Retz on 31 May 1918. This area was heavily forested, and the main equipment
of the Allies (Mk.V and Saint Chamond tanks) could not function properly there. So FT-17s played a leading role in
this combat and gained lots of victories.
A US tank unit led by George S. Patton (1885-1945) first used FT-17s in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel between 12 and 16
September 1918. Hence, the FT-17 became the first operational tank the US Army equipped. In October 1918, US
Army received the first 6-ton M1917 light tank (the US's copy of the FT-17) which was also the first US-built tank.
The Soviet Red Army captured four FT-17sfrom the intervention forces in Odessa. One repaired FT-17 tank was sent
to Moscow as a gift for Vladimir Lenin. Later, the Red Army captured another 10 FT-17s from the US Army in
Vladivostok. These tanks were sent to the Krasnoye Sormovo Factory for repair and refurbishment in 1920. Moreover,
fifteen Soviet copies of the FT-17, called "Russian Renoe", were produced as the first tanks the Soviet Union
equipped. But those tanks were never used in any battle due to quality problems. In 1928, the first Soviet-designed
MS-1/T-18 tank, which was based on the FT-17, was put into production.
During the Polish-Soviet War (1919-1921), Poland put FT-17s on railway flatcars as temporary armored trains for the
first time and gained good results. Then Poland evinced keen interest in rail patrol vehicles because of this successful
innovation and they built the first prototype in 1932. Rail chassis of this vehicle was driven by the FT-17's own power,
furthermore, the FT-17 could be dismounted from the rail chassis to perform task separately. This kind of rail patrol
vehicle was used to fight against the Germans in WWII.
Before the outbreak of WWII, there were still over 500 FT-17 tanks used by French front-line units. Counting training
& strategic reserve vehicles in, over 1200 vehicles were available for the French Army.
At the beginning of WWII, the German Army captured plenty of tanks, including 1702 FT-17s and its variants (mainly
from France, Poland and etc.). Those FT-17s were called Panzerkampfwagen17R/18R and designated asSd.kfz.730
(f). They were mainly used in airbase defense and patrol of occupied territories. Some turrets of FT-17s were used as
pillboxes, while the bodies were used as tow & carrier vehicles.
The FT-17 light tank was the ancestor of modern tanks and was the first real tank in the world in strict sense. Its
configuration - crew compartment at the front, main armament in a central single turret, a rotating turret on the top,
full-view commander compartment, separate engine compartment at the back- has become and remained the
standard modern tank layout.
The FT-17 light tank was 5m long and 1.74m wide. Its armor varied in thickness from 8mm to 22mm. Its combat weight
was 7.2t. It was powered by a Renault 4-cylinder inline liquid-cooled petrol engine. Suspension system consisted of
vertical springs. The tank could reach a maximum speed of 7.7km/h and accommodate a crew of two. It was armed
with an 8mm Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun or a 37mm PuteauxSA18gun. FT-17softhe French Army were upgraded
with 7.5mm Reibel MAC Mle.31 machine gun from 1931 onwards. Those tanks were primarily used in the WWII.

Jean-Baptiste Eugene Estienne (1860-1936), known as the father of French
tanks, was a general of the French Army and the founder of modern French
artillery. He had some in-depth study in indirect fire and devoted himself to the
research and application of mechanized weapons. Before WWI, He envisioned
that "the victory in this war will belong to which of the two belligerents which will
be the first to place a gun of 75 [mm] on a vehicle able to be driven on all terrain".
