166 color photos, 16 color plates. The first use of the U.S. Army half-track in their intended role as infantry vehicles came during Operation Torch in November 1942. Since then, the half-tracks were used in all theaters of operations, from North Africa to Europe to the Pacific. These vehicles were closely associated with the fighting in Europe in 1944-45, used primarily with the armored divisions. Our specialist on American and Soviet armor, Steven J. Zaloga made a thorough research on the U.S. M2/M3 half-tracks and brought us this photo album covering all variants in combat during WWII. The major variants covered include T19 105mm HMC, M3 75mm GMC, T28E1 CGMC, T30 75mm HMC, M15 CGMC and M16 MGMC. Big size high quality photos together with 16 color plates give the readers excellent reference material.
