Among the most successful armoured vehicles produced by American
industry - known as the Arsenal of Democracy - during the Second
World War were the M2 and M3 half-tracks. They served on every
battlefront and were as recognizable as other famous American
wartime vehicles like the Sherman and the Jeep, and around 40,000
were produced between 1941 and 1945\. They were easy to assemble,
operate and maintain, and their versatility allowed them to fulfil
a variety of purposes. This volume in Pen & Sword's LandCraft
series traces the design, development and manufacturing history of
the M2/M3 and describes its operational role within the Allied
armies. A selection of archive photographs showing the M2/M3 in
action gives a graphic impression of how adaptable these vehicles
were and records the range of equipment they could carry. The book
is an excellent source for the modeller, providing details of
available kits, together with specially commissioned colour
profiles demonstrating how the M2/M3 used by different units and
armies appeared.
