Actually brought in by cargo plane like a C-47 with the big cargo door on the side. In WWII we did not have anything we could extract stuff out the back, not until the C-119 Flying Boxcar.

Hello, the crawler is a Cletrac model F made from 1920 to 1922, it was known as the string of pearls due to the fact that the track ran on a string of rollers that can bee seen hanging under the track pads. It is not the Clark airborn dozer made by the Clark equipment company of Battle Creek Michigan during WWII. That dozer was the CA-1 unit and very collectable along with the cletrac. PS the model F was the first high trac crawler before the caterpillar crawler that is in use today. Phil
