Produktbeschreibung

A detailed summary of all types of Diamond T vehicles used by the U.S. Army during World War II, packed full of period photos and diagrams. Between 1940 and 1945, Diamond T Motor Car Company supplied just over 50,000 vehicles to the U.S. military, and also to the Allies. Of this, just over 30,000 were heavy 4-ton 6x6 trucks of varying types: cargo, tow truck, pontoon carrier, engineer, cartographic, etc. The "Diamond" would serve in all theaters of operations, wherever its robustness and reliability were necessary to complete the mission. Due to its expertise, Diamond T also produced the famous half-track, with more than 10,000 manufactured. All these models are described in this work by Didier Andres, an expert in the subject. The text is illustrated throughout using archival and period photographs and diagrams. Praise for U.S. Army Diamond T Vehicles in World War II "Another excellent collaboration of the Casemate Illustrated Specials with the author Didier Andres and a great tribute to this legendary vehicle. A worthy addition to any personal library whether it belongs to an historian, a vehicle restorer, or a builder of military miniatures. This volume is highly recommended without reservation." -War Wheels "This comprehensive and fully illustrated account describes in technical detail the evolution of the Diamond T design and all the Diamond T models produced for the Army during World War II... Highly recommended for beginner to advanced builders." -AMPS
