"One of the tanks that played a part in the war was the M3 Stuart, entering service in 1941. Over 22,000 of these tanks were produced over its service life. It was outfitted with a Continental W-670-9A 7-cylinder gasoline engine, capable of outputting 262 horsepower and of reaching a top speed of 36 miles per hour. Although the M3 Stuart was one of the fastest tanks, it was also not as heavily armed as others."
"The main gun only measured 37mm, which pales in comparison to the 105mm main gun on the M4 Sherman. Even though these tanks might vary in speed or armament, they played an instrumental role in deciding the fate of World War II. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed a catalog of the most iconic U.S. tanks of World War II, from Military Factory."
American armored forces delivered decisive firepower and mobility across Africa and Europe, shaping the Allied victory and future tank warfare. U.S. tanks ranged from lightweight, fast models to heavier, more powerful designs. The M3 Stuart entered service in 1941, with over 22,000 produced, a Continental W-670-9A 7-cylinder gasoline engine producing 262 horsepower, a 36 mph top speed, and a 37mm main gun. Tanks such as the M4 Sherman and M26 Pershing offered greater armament. A chronological catalog presents types, introduction years, manufacturers, production figures, armament, prototypes, and non-combat models. Image-based identification games pair photos with service-history clues.
