No Detals

Harley Davidson Boxer

This is a US Army demanded, Americanized copy of the famous BMW boxer engine that was made famous by German motocycle soldiers prior to WW2. The Americans were not the only "copy cats" as the Russian made (and still make) a virtual copy of the 1938 BMW with it's sidecar.

Trackless Tank

April 1941 - Seen above are soldiers inspecting a trackless tank at Fort Myer, Virginia. Tank was manufactured by the Trackless Tank Corporation of New York, and submitted to the Ordnance Department, U.S. Army, for inspection. Preliminary tests indicated that the tank was adaptable for reconnaissance purposes. The tank weighed 10 tons. During tests at Fort Knox, Kentucky, 45 mph was achieved across rough country, with a 37mm gun and 2 MG mounted in its turret. It was powered by a 250 horsepower diesel engine, and carried 1/2-inch armor. Tentative plans of the Army call for a redesign of the superstructure for better arming of the tank.
