Military 2019 SS

22 2019 NEW RELEASES M3A1 Scout Car The US Cavalry’s Primary Reconnaissance Vehicle in World War II David Doyle The M3A1 Scout Car, produced by White Motor Company of Cleveland, served as the US Cavalry's primary scouting and reconnaissance vehicle during the early days of the US entry into WWII. A powerful Hercules engine, four-wheel drive, and relatively light weight gave the vehicle both impressive on-road speed and reasonable off- road maneuverability. Typically armed with a trio of heavy and light machine guns, the vehicle was not intended to “slug it out” with the enemy, but rather to locate the enemy and, through its impressive array of radio equipment, report the positions to more heavily armed forces. Through dozens of archival photos, including previously unpublished images, as well as details of some of the finest existing examples, this iconic vehicle is explored, and its history is explained.
