I'm not real good on post WWII stuff and I either missed this or its not in Hunnicutt's Bradley. Can anybody ID this vehicle for me? thanks in advance

"The pbv 302 has wide tracks and a high weight to power ratio, and gives exceptionally good off-road mobility, and the low ground pressure enables it to operate over summer tundra and winter snow."

#8: Re: ID help needed Author: Joe_D, Location: Razorback CountryPosted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 2:40 pm ---- Don't get me started on "Wiki",
I've gotten to the point that I automatically dismiss anything that uses "Wiki" as a reference. I'm sure there is a lot of good info but there's no way to pick through the bogus from the real unless you already knew it. Kinda defeats the purpose of using it. Google anything and "Wiki" shows up usually first. I guess if you say it loud enough and long enough it becomes fact to many. Case in point our "M113" nut who will not be named.
