"Tanks in Action" is a historical illustration by Stanley L. Wood, featured in Volume II of "The Outline of History" by H.G. Wells, first published in 1920. The illustration is part of Wells's ambitious work, which aimed to provide a comprehensive narrative of the history of the Earth, humanity, and the evolution of human societies. Stanley L. Wood, known for his adept skills in depicting action and military scenes, contributed to the visual aspect of Wells's narrative with his depiction of tanks—then a relatively new addition to modern warfare, having been introduced during World War I.

The illustration captures the intensity and technological innovation of early 20th-century warfare, reflecting the mechanization of the battlefield and the changing nature of combat. Tanks, as depicted by Wood, symbolize the industrialized nature of conflict and the increasing reliance on machines. The artwork not only serves as a historical reference but also contributes to the understanding of public perception and the cultural impact of military technology during the post-World War I era.

As part of "The Outline of History," "Tanks in Action" contributes to the broader educational purpose of the work, which was to provide an accessible and illustrated history for the general reader.

Wells. Stanley L. Wood's illustration is an example of how art and literature can intersect to enhance the understanding of historical events and their presentation to the public.
