The 29th Armored Reconnaissance Regiment landed in Normandy on July 24,1944 in the role of divisional armored reconnaissance of 4th Division. Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon "Swatty" Dorward de Salaberry Wotherspoon, DSO, was the Commanding Officer from 1943 to 1945. Designed as a large, high-mobility infantry vehicle, the M3 half-track was standardized in 1940 and was built by the Diamond T Motor Company for use during WWII and the Cold War. In order to improve its reliability and to speed up production, the M3 was produced with as many commercial components as possible. It had a longer body than its counterpart, the M2, and could carry a 13-man rifle squad. It had a fully armored body and a bullet-proof windscreen, and the radiator was protected by an adjustable armored shutter. Later variants included machine gun mounts and rear-mounted racks for crew stowage. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
