Two new titles are now in-stock at David Doyle Books.

Chaffee Volume 2, M19 - M37 - M41
The M24 Chaffee was the finest light tank developed by the US during WWII. Utilizing the M24 chassis―developed by Cadillac―the US Army procured a family of fighting vehicles, including the M19 Twin 40 mm Gun Motor Carriage, the M37 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, and the M41 155 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, all of which are covered in this second volume on the Chaffee. While all of these motor carriages were too late to see combat in WWII, all were widely used during the Korean War, with many at the front of the fighting. This book chronicles the development and use of these vehicles from concept to combat. Through dozens of archival photos, many never before published, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of these vehicles, this iconic tank hunter is explored and its history is explained.

LVT (4) LEGENDS OF WARFARE
Originally developed as a swamp rescue vehicle by the millionaire philanthropists Donald and John Roebling (of the Brooklyn Bridge Roebling family), the LVT (Landing Vehicle, Tracked) or Alligator, was widely used in the island hopping campaign. The LVT(4) introduced the rear ramp, which when lowered allowed troops to rush out, rather than clambering over the tall sides as on previous models. Produced by Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), railway equipment manufacturer St. Louis Car Company, and automobile maker Graham-Paige, over 8,000 LVT(4)s were built during the war, but today only few remain. Through dozens of archival photos as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existent examples of these vehicles, this iconic landing vehicle is explored, and its history explained.
