Which reminds me of the Harry Hopkins Jumping Tank.  Sometime in the
fifties (IIRC), the English decided that a rocket-assisted tank that
could "jump" over obstacles that would stop ordinary tanks might be a

except for the annoying tendency to land on its back, thereby squashing
the turret and ocassionally killing the driver. ...
