[About the actual vehicle]
The M8 was one of the wheeled armored vehicles developed by the U.S. military during World War II.
The vehicle, developed by Ford based on the requirements of the U.S. military, was officially adopted in May 1942.
It was subsequently deployed as the main equipment for cavalry reconnaissance battalions.
The vehicle features a 6x6 suspension system and a monocoque body with a welded structure.
It was equipped with a rear-mounted inline six-cylinder gasoline engine that produced 110 horsepower.
It boasts a top speed of 90 km/h and exhibits high maneuverability thanks to its six-wheel drive system.
Furthermore, the vehicle was equipped with a rotating turret, and its main armament consisted of a 37mm tank gun.
Based on the M8, the M20 multi-purpose armored vehicle was created by removing the turret, adding an open-top cabin, and modifying it to carry six soldiers.
Over 8,000 M8s and over 3,700 M20s were produced, and they saw action on various fronts.
He was affectionately known by the nickname Greyhound.
