Greetings,
A metal-detecting club in Russia has been finding loads of cool stuff in the Korsun area. One of the best items was an M4A2 chassis and seperate turret. I posted the whole story with addit ...

Greetings,
I am cleaning out some of my boxes and shelves and have encountered duplicates (and triplicates!) of several books. I am offering these to folks on the forum for reduced prices instead of ...

Jeff,
After David Doyle and I produced the photo-book M41 Walker Bulldog (distributed by Stevens International), I continued to to collect information on these very interesting vehicles. I would love ...

[quote="Joe_D"]Hi everyone,

John, the M48 at Volk field is an A0. When the M48's first came out there were two versions of the cupola, the one pictured here and then the enclosed version. They ...

Neil,
I am embarrassed to say, that, having shot 88 photos of this tank, I do not have a single one of the tow points or serial number!

I will have to reshoot this tank, as I wasn't too happy wi ...

[quote="Neil_Baumgardner"]John,

Hi Neil,

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info. Even though this particular tank was pretty intact (not looted or vandalized), I couldn't find a data plate on the exterior like the one at Camp Dodge. However, I suspe ...

Thank you Doug...Those are some great links. Yes, indeed, it looks as though Camp Dodge's M47 is an Italian return with little doubt!

This is the second M47 that is confusing me. This one is near Onalaska, Wisconsin. Again, it seems to be a standard M47 EXCEPT for the missing secondary idler wheel. Does this variant have a specific ...

I am going to send this in two emails. The first contains attachments showing an M47 monument on display at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Again, I am confused by this vehicle, but because of the data plate, assum ...

Thank you Roy and Rob! I plowed through Hunnicutt's book covering the Patton, and I have to say, the secondary idler wheel has thrown me on a number of occasions. I have shot several pictures of monu ...
