I need to look at Hunnicutt anyway. I seem to remember that it was originally supposed to be light tank M4 but that after the confusion of having medium and light tanks with the same M number it was changed. That would put it before the M5 light series. It may be that I am mis-remembering things and the M5 light was supposed to be the M4. I need to check the development chain and see if teh M7 was in development before the modified M3 became the M5.
- ponceThanks for all the responses fellows. I think I've found a photo here:

I've got an RN for the M7 - 3095066 - but not the SN. Can you check against the Hunnicutt pictures to see if that lines up with a particular pilot?

- Neil_BaumgardnerRoy, looking at the same photos (p207 & 208) - the third production M7 is 3095029... At the bottom of p209 there is a picture of 3095062 (identified simply as a production M7)... There seems to be some number skipping here as there were only 13 production M7s built. No picture or reference to 3095066 that I can see... But it appears likely that its the 8th production vehicle as that would seem to fit in the numbering scheme: 13 were built & 3095029 is the third... That leaves 10 others, including 3095062 and 3095066.
