Описание: The history of US light tanks during World War II is a chequered one. The Light Battalions of US Armored Divisions were initially filled with M3A1 and M5 Stuart tanks, however, on the battlefields of North Africa it was realised that these were disastrously under armoured and gunned, and a replacement, or the abandonment of light tank doctrine, was desperately needed. It wasn't until the last few months of WWII that the M24 Chaffee came into service and it was extensively used in combat from the Battle of the Bulge to the final campaigns in Germany.
This book will trace the history of this design, its combat record in World War II, its many variants, and its extensive combat record post 1945.

Описание: The M24 Chaffee was the finest light tank developed by the US during WWII. Utilizing the M24 chassis—developed by Cadillac—the US Army procured a family of fighting vehicles, including the M19 Twin 40 mm Gun Motor Carriage, the M37 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, and the M41 155 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, all of which are covered in this second volume on the Chaffee. While all of these motor carriages were too late to see combat in WWII, all were widely used during the Korean War, with many at the front of the fighting. This book chronicles the development and use of these vehicles from concept to combat. Through dozens of archival photos, many never before published, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of these vehicles, this iconic tank hunter is explored and its history is explained.

Jim Spears (Attorney, Public Defender and former Judge) assembles his case, gathers overwhelming evidence, and consults a long line of witnesses to set the record straight on the Cuban Refugees at Fort Chaffee, a forgotten and misunderstood story that cast Fort Smith in the national spotlight, involved the Ku Klux Klan, almost cost William Jefferson Clinton his political career, and contributed to President Carter's defeat by Ronald Reagan.
