Semioruga M3 Half-Track
Segunda Guerra Mundial, 1941–1945

In 1940, the armoured body of the American M3 Scout Car was used to build M3 Half-Track Personnel Carriers. The photo shows an upgraded M3A1 Half-Track of the French Foreign Legion, with M49 ring mount. Nearly 41,000 half-tracks were built for the US Army and Allied forces during World-War Two. The British, Canadian, and Soviet army received similar Lend-Lease M5 Half-Track Personnel Carriers.
