Y'all wouldn't know where I could find pictures of the types of stowage an M41 might carry, would you? Doesn't have to be on the tank, but I have a bunch of items I could throw on it, but would prefer accuracy.

Thanks,
Jed

Good link, but not quite what I'm looking for.

From everything I've read, U.S. gear during the period the M41 was active with the U.S. Army was a mix of Korean war era (which was WW2 era) equipment with a little bit of the new things that were being introduced into the system.

I've got a bunch of extras from old kits, primarily WW2, and looking to see what kinds of packs would hang off the vehicle. Tarps, fuel and water cans, I have, but that's the curious one.

From Wikimedia :

"Two M-41 tanks, elements of the 4th Cavalry, on a 800 mile cross country reconnaissance mission in northeastern Thailand are firmly stuck in deep mud during the height of the monsoon (rainy) season, 90 miles northeast of Korat, Thailand."

I've got the Squadron Signal M41 in Action book. It has some shots of US vehicles during maneuvers in Panama, Germany, Alaska, etc. You're welcome to borrow it.

Sabot,
I'll have to swing on by. Haven't been able to recently.
