I am looking for references on 2nd Armored Division in Sicily (Operation Torch). In particular, I am looking for half track markings.

Names an ISBN's for publications as well as hot link on the world wide web are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark L.

Operation Torch was the landing in French North Africa in November 1942.
For the info you need (in Sicily), the system is well explained in the Steven Zaloga's booklet on the US Armor in the Mediterranean - Concord Publications.

Too much on my plate I guess... Yes Operation Husky was Sicily. My mistake

Well, I finished one of the two versions of Dragon's M2/M2A1 Halftrack.
