Interesting that the crew layout between Brit and American tanks are opposite....just like driving. LOL

The Firefly was an excellent tank. I often marvel at the progression from the WWII era tanks to the post war Patton series to the modern Abrams series.

The old USMC M48A5 is as far back as I have info for though Wink

As far as aircraft. I do like the P38, P51, F16, A10, SR-71 and AC-130. Really though, my favorite aircraft of all time:

Does anyone know the ordnance part number for a Sherman tank? I have access to and old data base but I need to search by ordnance part numbers. For instance, the M48A5 is P/N 8736758. The M60A1 is P/N 8750112. I might be able to pull up old ordnance drawings of M4A1's but it is all by ordnance part number. And even then it is no guarantee but I will look.

M60A1 P/N 8750112



Original M1 P/N 8750014
1978 (no distribution statement)
