[実車解説] The M5 light tank, introduced in 1942, was fitted with a larger turret and additional radio equipment early in 1943 to become the M5A1. Both were powered by twin Cadillac V-8s coupled to the Cadillac Hydra-matic transmission. The M5 became the basis of several variants, generally substituting other weapons for the 37mm gun originally fitted in the M5 turret. Chief among these were the Howitzer Motor Carriage M8, which mounted a short 75mm howitzer; and the T8 reconnaissance vehicle, with a .50cal machine gun on a mounting ring in place of the standard M5 turret. Both of these soldiered on until the end of the war. |
