U.S. Army Diamond T Vehicles in World War II
Casemate Publishers (Verlag)
978-1-63624-160-9 (ISBN)
Between 1940 and 1945, the Diamond T Motor Car Company supplied just over 50,000 vehicles to the US military, and also to the Allies. Of these, just over 30,000 were heavy 4-ton 6x6 trucks of varying types: cargo, tow truck, pontoon carrier, engineer, and cartographic. The 'Diamond' would serve in all theatres of operations, wherever its robustness and reliability were necessary to complete the mission. Due to its expertise, Diamond T also produced the famous half-track, with more than 10,000 manufactured.
All of these models are described in this book by Didier Andres, an expert in the subject. It is illustrated throughout using archival and period photographs and diagrams.
Didier Andres, born in Verviers in Belgium, was passionate about military history and particularly about American vehicles of World War II. He had a large archive of documents and imagery, and contributed to books and magazines for over twenty years. He was the author of U.S. Army Chevrolet Trucks, U.S. Army Ambulances & Medical Vehicles, U.S. Army Signal Corps Vehicles, and U.S. Army Diamond T Vehicles.
