I would like to know if anyone could tell me where I could find detailed photos and or line drawings of the Calliope? I have tried google but have had no luck.

Hi Jody,

Here is some info from the 752nd Tank Battalion: Rocket Tanks in the 752nd Tank Battalion
Not much but a good start,

Allied Axis no. 10 has some very good photo coverage. I also recall that the British Pathe site has some stills of a Calliope being loaded as well.

The rocket tanks from the 752nd are T-40 "Whiz-Bang" launchers, not T-34 "Calliope" launchers. A nice photo reference for both of them is Concord's "U.S. Armored Funnies" by Steven Zaloga. It just came out last year, so you should be able to find it.
