2207 M4A1 76(w) VVSS Late Production
The M4 Sherman medium tank was the main battle tank of the United States during World War II.
It was mass-produced and formed the backbone of the United States armored forces at the time.
Several versions were produced.
The first large-scale version was the M4A1, which featured a cast upper hull.
It was armed with the 75mm cannon, which was replaced by the 76mm high-velocity cannon in the late A1 vehicles.
Thanks to its Continental R975 gasoline engine, the tank performed well on and off-road.
The Sherman was reliable and easy to produce in large numbers.
In the 1960s, the Israeli Defense Forces equipped their M4A1 Sherman tanks with the powerful French 105mm CN-105-F1 cannon and designated them the M51.
A muzzle brake was installed to minimize the increased recoil, and a large counterweight was attached to the rear of the turret to compensate for the weight of the long barrel.
The 460 hp diesel engine and the combination of Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) and wider T80 tracks gave the M51 greater mobility.
In the 1967 Six-Day War, the M51s were used against newer T-54/55 tanks and JS-3 tanks of the Egyptian, Iraqi, and Syrian armies, proving their superiority.
The Willys MB Jeep undoubtedly holds a significant place in automotive history.
The Jeep's origins date back to early 1941, when the U.S. Armed Forces commissioned Willys, Ford, and Bantam to develop prototypes of a small, four-wheel-drive, multi-purpose vehicle.
At the beginning of World War II, Germany had achieved outstanding successes through the use of motorized troops as part of the "Blitzkrieg" tactics.
The Allied nations had a growing urgent need for robust and reliable vehicles with excellent off-road capability.
In November 1941, the Army chose the Willys vehicle as the basis for the mass-production model, adapting the front grille and hood to the Ford design.
This marked the birth of the Willys MB (Model B).
The early Willys MB featured a welded louvered front grille.
Due to the need to increase production, the Army ordered Ford to begin mass production using the Willys MB blueprints.
The vehicle was designated the GPW, and a simple pressed-steel front grille was introduced.
During World War II, the Willys MB and the Ford GPW operated in every theater of war.
As a means of transporting soldiers, it played a vital role in the Allied victory.
It was also used for liaison, command, and communications purposes, and sometimes even as an ambulance.
By August 1945, production reached approximately 640,000 units.
