This APC was the main frontline transport for the U.S. military during WW2. It featured a 6 cylinder engine that could reach speeds of 45mph. It could be outfitted with a variety of small arms, and was used to tow mobile artillery pieces like the 105mm Howitzer.
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 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
