USMC Tracked Amphibious Vehicles

To me one of the coolest military vehicles around is the tracked amphibious vehicle.

Earlier models seem clunky by today’s standards but the rugged vehicles more than proved their worth on the battlefield.

In Schiffer Books’ Legends Of Warfare Ground USMC Tracked Amphibious Vehicles author David Doyle examines the T46E1/M76 Otter, M116 Husky, LVTP5 and LVTP7/AAV7A1 versions of the Marine Corp. Amphibious Vehicles.

The hardbound book contains hundreds of archival and modern black and white and color photos of the vehicles through the decades.

Each vehicle is examined and shown through production, construction, testing on the battlefront, in action and full vehicle and up close examination of the various components of each vehicle.

Full historical and technical information is provided including specs, firepower, usage and crew capacity.

It’s fascinating to see how the vehicles changed over the decade with modifications, upgrades, new technology and implementation of computer assist and capabilities.

Look for complete specs, photos of each vehicle on display and in use and much more.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
