very sad news indeed

to my knowledge no M45's survived. A lot were ordered but only a modest number were built M45 came from a assessment from the European Theater of Operations, US Army (ETOUSA). During planning for t ...

What became of the M4A3E2? Did that go to the Collings Foundation?

Some very interesting material there. I really appreciated the photos of the M2 limber used with the 155mm gun. Most 155mm guns and 8" howitzers on display have the later M5 limber. Thanks for shar ...

Not trying to be "dark", but have there been any details released about what caused the accident? Was it a failure of the gun structure or was there an open-breech accident? We don't need the gory d ...

Basically the M4 and M4A1 were the same candy bar in slightly different wrappers. The US Army originally wanted the cast hull tanks but foundry limitations forced the adoption of a modified design th ...

Very sad. I knew there was at least one M18 that was capable of live fire (see You Tube) and had been used for various demonstrations.

It's neat to see the M15 MGMC running around. I didn't know there was a "runner" out there.

Neat info, thanks for sharing. The M10 was a very important vehicle to the US Army in WW2, and it seems only a few got saved, so it's nice to see one getting a full restoration.

Nice! Not many of those left and odd to see one outside a US Army post. The black over khaki green paint job reminds me of when I visited Fort Know circa 1975 during some of the MASSTER testing on c ...

Does anyone know if the displayed tank is the "primary" Fury - the M4A2E8 or is it the "replacement" Fury, the cobbled together M4 (105mm)/76mm turret? It looks like the museum has Fury with the righ ...
