My reference books on the DUKW mention that this vehicle was mostly used for offloading ships during the Korean War, with few actual combat operations, but it mentioned that the DUKW was used during the Inchon invasion. Is there further information anywhere? Thanks.

They were also used in the crossing of the Han River.

Hi Tom
Even if it is slightly off topic (No Inchon landing ), you'll find some interesting informations about the 8062nd Transportation Amphibian Truck Company in Korea HERE

Hey, thanks a lot for the article!

Glad you like it. Here's another interesting reading about Inchon landing, in PDF format (it even includes 3 DUKW pics ) :

Help! I can't get the link to work!

This article is in PDF format, so you'll need to have Acrobat Reader software to read it....
You can download it for free HERE

My work computer saved the day for me.

And thanks for the article, which was just what I was hoping to find!

And now that I am actually building an Italieri DUKW model, I want to build one of the Marine First Amphibian Truck company, but don't know how to paint or mark it. I know the Marine Corps at the time was gutted by the then-Secretary of Defense who unsuccessfully tried to severely reduce and perhaps eliminate this branch of service, and the Marines at the time had to use Army M26 Pershing tanks still in olive drab colors.
