Developed in 1942 by the Americans and used during World War Two the M5 Half-Track (officially the Carrier, Personnel, Half-track, M5) was an Armoured Personnel Carrier developed when existing manufacturers of the M2 Half-Track Car, and M3 Half-Track could not keep up with production demand. International Harvester (IH) had capacity to produce a similar vehicle to the M3 Half-Track, but some differences from the M3 Half-Track had to be accepted due to different production equipment, they produced the M5 Half-Track from December 1942 to October 1943.

 

Using the same chassis as their M5 Half-Track, International Harvester could produce an equivalent to the M2 Half-TrackCar, which was the M9 Half-Track, there were also variants of the M13 and M16 MGMC's based on the M5. The M13 and M16 were exported to the United Kingdom and to Soviet Union respectively. The M5 Half-track was supplied to Allied Nations (the British Commonwealth, France, and the Soviet Union) under the ''Lend-Lease'' scheme. After World War Two, the M5 Half-Track was leased to many NATO countries. The Israel Defence Forces used it in several wars and developed it into the M3 Mark A and the M3 Mark B.

 

The first production run of the M5 Half-Track was completed in December 1942, changes to the demand for Half-Tracks led to reduced orders from the U.S Army, and the M5 Half-Track became ''limited standard'' in the U.S Military. A total of 7,484 were produced before production was stopped in October 1943. Almost all of the M5 Half-Tracks were sent to U.S Allies for further use. The added weight of the armour reduced the speed to 42mph and range was reduced to 125 miles. The final vehicles were completed in early October 1943.

 

In the UK, the Universal Carrier already fulfilled the Infantry Transport role and the M5 Half-Track was used instead as an Artillery Tractor for towing the British 6-pounder and 17-pounder Guns, some were also retained in the U.S for training purposes. The French Far East Expeditionary Corps used M5 Half-Tracks during the First Indochina War. The M5 Half-Track later saw service with the Israeli Army in the 1948 ''Arab-Israeli War''. They were commonly painted red to disguise them as agricultural tractors. In 1955, the Israelis used M5's to make the M3 Mark A and the M3 Mark B. The former was an M3 or M5 with a few modifications and the latter was a M5 converted into a Command Carrier.

 

Regular M5's were simply designated ''M3 IHC'' it was later used in the ''Suez Crisis'' and the ''Six-Day War'' by the ''Yom Kippur War'' the M3/M5 had been replaced by the M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier but some were still with service as a Command Vehicle with Reserve Units during the 1982 ''Lebanon War''.

The British produced Albion CX22S was a Heavy Artillery 6x4 Tractor used during World War Two, it was designed and built by Albion Motors in late 1943 to supplement the Scammell Pioneer Heavy Artillery Tractor, which was not available in sufficient numbers. In service the CX22S was used by the British Army to tow the 155mm Long Tom and the BL 7.2 inch Howitzer.

 

The CX22S was based on Albion's CX23N 10-ton truck, a wheeled 6x4 truck, powered by a 100bhp six-cylinder inline diesel engine, through a four-speed gearbox and two-speed auxiliary gearbox. The cab of the CX22S had bench seating for two or three Crew whilst the rear body had bench seating for four and folding seats for two more along with stowage for tools, equipment and ammunition. The CX22S was fitted with an 8 ton Scammell vertical-spindle winch under the rear body to assist with moving a gun. There were 532 units built by Albion between November 1943 and June 1945.

– KrAZ-255V (КрАЗ-255В) –

 

The KrAZ-255 is a Soviet three-axle off-road truck with six-wheel drive (6x6), intended for extreme operations. It was manufactured at the KrAZ plant beginning from 1967. The KrAZ-255 was developed directly from its predecessor, the KrAZ-214 (produced 1956-1967). Despite being very similar at first glance (both using the same cab, flatbed as well as the suspension) there are few major differences.

 

Firstly, the 255 used new and much more powerful engine - the YaMZ-238 (same used in MT-LB tracked APC) replacing the previously used and sensibly weaker YaAZ-206B which was used in the 214. The 255 also featured new and more reliable transmission, the YaMZ-236N, instead of the previously used YaAZ-204. It also featured new headlights (which were now, together with turn signals, located in their own housings mounted on the fenders) and, most notably, much wider tyres (1300x530x533 in dimensions) which offered lighter ground pressure and thus, even greater off-road capabilities when compared to its predecessor.

 

Along with Ural, ZiL, Kamaz, GAZ and MAZ, the KrAZ once represented one of six models of cargo/towing trucks (in its basic version, the KrAZ-255B) used by the Soviet Armed Forces, as well as by many civilian organizations in the former Soviet Union (mainly by various construction plants) where it was also used as a logging (the KrAZ-255L/L1) and dump truck (the KrAZ-256).

 

Since the KrAZ-255 was the heaviest (weighing 12 tons empty) and most powerful (using a 14,900ccm engine, producing 240 hp) of all Soviet three-axle 6x6 military cargo trucks, it was most often used for towing heavier artillery pieces (such as D-74, M-46 and 2A65 howitzers or T-12 anti-tank gun) and also for towing various aircraft from their hangars to runways, or vice versa (in tractor-unit version, the KrAZ-255V).

 

Furthermore, it was also used as a platform for control cabin and the antennas of PRV-9/1RL19 Naklon (NATO reporting name: ''Thin-Skin'') and PRV-16/1RL132 Nadyozhnost (NATO reporting name: ''Odd-Pair'') Soviet height-finding radars, as well as for various engineer duties in specially-designed versions (such as PMP collapsible ferryboat intended to be used as a pontoon bridge and TMM-3 mobile bridgelayer) which are still being used today by various military forces across the globe.

 

The KrAZ-255 ultimately evolved into a new model as its successor in 1979, the KrAZ-260, whose only difference was a new design of cab and the interiors. Despite that however, the KrAZ-260 did not replace it in production, but was actually produced alongside it up until 1994, when both were finally discontinued in favour to KrAZ-6322 (a modernized model of KrAZ-260).

The M19 Tank Transporter (U.S supply catalog designation G159) was a heavy tank transporter system used in World War Two and into the 1950's. It consisted of a 12-ton 6x4 M20 Diamond T Model 980 truck and companion 12-wheel M9 trailer.

 

Designed as a heavy prime mover for tank transporting, the hard-cab Diamond T 980 was the product of the Diamond T Company in Chicago. In 1940 the British Purchasing Commission, looking to equip the British Army with a vehicle capable of transporting larger and heavier tanks, approached a number of American truck manufacturers to assess their models.

 

The Diamond T Company had a long history of building rugged, military vehicles for the U.S Army Quartermaster Corps and had recently produced a prototype heavy vehicle for the U.S Army which, with a few slight modifications met British requirements and an initial order for 200 was very quickly filled.

 

The result was the Diamond T 980 a 12-ton hard-cab 6x4 truck. Powered by a Hercules DFXE diesel engine developing 201 hp and geared very low, it could pull a trailer of up to 115,000 lb and proved capable of the task of moving the heaviest tanks then in service.

 

Production began in 1941, the first batch being received in Britain in 1942 and very quickly demonstrated their rugged reliability in the British campaign in North Africa. Battle-damaged tanks needed to be recovered quickly, often under hostile fire, and returned to workshops for repair. The Diamond T, with its powerful engine and winch, could accomplish this, even in the harshest desert conditions. 5,871 were eventually built by 1945 and were used by virtually every Allied Army in every theatre of World War Two.

 

The British Army took delivery of around 1,000 during the war years and many continued in service afterwards, being replaced in the early 1950's with the Thornycroft Antar (''Mighty Antar'') although a few remained in Tank Transporter Units up until 1971.

 

Many of those sold off by the Army after the war were snapped up by heavy haulage and recovery specialists, notably Pickfords and Wynns and were a familiar sight on Britain's roads, pulling heavy lowloaders and fairground trailers or parked on garage forecourts, in readiness for a heavy rescue operation equipped as wreckers. They suffered from ''very limited off-road performance'' as a result of only the two rear axles being driven. Today, many of the 75-year-old Diamond T's can still be found in private ownership in Britain and frequently appear at historic vehicle shows.

 

The ''Combination Unit'' is referred to as the M19 Tank Transporter, consisting of the M20 Tractor and M9 24-Wheel Trailer. In the nomenclature system used by the U.S Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog this vehicle is referred as the ''G159'' It was superseded by the M26, after the introduction of the M26, the U.S relegated M20's to ammunition hauling, for which they proved ''tremendous'' British designation for the tractor unit was ''Diamond T Tractor 6x4 for 40 ton Trailer'' with Model 980 or Model 981 added to distinguish the two. The British-built Trailers were known as ''40 ton Trailer British Mk. I (Crane)'' and ''40 ton Trailer British Mk.II (Dyson)'' being manufactured by either Cranes of Dereham and R. A. Dyson and Company of Liverpool.

LEGO project - Komatsu 930E V2 beta

The beast's cabover heavy haul truck~

1941-1945 WILLYS MB / FORD GPW –

 

The U.S. Army requested a vehicle, and drove off in a ''Hero'' the Willys MB, its spirit forged by the fire of combat and honed in the heat of battle, seared its way into the hearts of warriors fighting for freedom. Fierce emotional bonds often developed between a soldier and his ''Jeep'' 4x4. The faithful little MB earned a place in every GI's heart, in every area of combat, in every conceivable role.

 

The tough, simple Jeep 4x4 became the GI's best friend, second only to his rifle. One Jeep MB was even awarded a Purple Heart and sent home. General George C. Marshall, U.S Army Chief of Staff during World War Two, and later U.S. Secretary of State, described the Jeep 4x4 as ''America's greatest contribution to modern warfare'' Scripps Howard World War Two reporter Ernie Pyle once said, ''It did everything. It went everywhere. Was a faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat. It constantly carried twice what it was designed for and still kept going''.

 

The Willys MB started a revolution in the use of Small Military Motor Vehicles in the U.S. Army, horses along with motorcycles, solo and side car, were rendered obsolete almost immediately. The all-purpose Willys MB was amazingly versatile, they could be fitted with .30 or .50 caliber machine guns for combat and were also widely modified for long-range desert patrol, snow plowing, telephone cable laying, saw milling, as fire-fighting pumpers, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, would even run on railway tracks.

 

Willys MB's could be loaded into transport aircraft for rapid deployment and were also small enough to fit into the large gliders used in the D-Day Invasion of Europe, over the course of the war, customised field kits were developed for winter and desert conditions, deep-water fording and other combat needs. Although the Willys MB was not the first four-wheel-drive vehicle, the Go Anywhere, Do Anything vehicle, but it did influenced every 4x4 built in its wake. The New York Museum of Modern Art includes a Military Jeep Brand 4x4 in its display of eight automobiles and regarded it as “one of the very few genuine expressions of machine art.”
