Maybee, MI - M55 gallery
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

The M53/M55 artillery pieces were based on the M46/M47 chassis and not the later M48/M48A1 chassis. _________________ RobG

Presumably there was a provision for driving it from within the turret?

Hi Doug! Hi Folks! That side hatch and the vision blocks at the top left side of the turret is the driver's station. Spot Report! Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.
