Question about item
After experience with improvised tank destroyers such as the M3 half-track with a 75mm gun, the M6 truck with a 37mm gun and the M10 tank destroyer (3-inch gun mounted on a modified M4 Sherman -hull), the US Army was keen to produce a custom tank destroyer to hunt down enemy tanks. In late 1941, orders were given to mount a 37mm gun on the requested vehicle. This should be upgraded several times to 57mm, 75mm and finally to 76mm.
The result of this development would be the M18 Hellcat – the fastest US armored car of World War II.
M18 Hellcats served in the invasion of the Philippines and were used during the landings at Anzio in Italy and in North West Europe.
Hellcats were also exported to China, where they served in an infantry support role.
The Hellcat could be found in service with several nations after WWII, with the Yugoslav Army still using it into the 1990s!
