| Notes | Recognising the need for an improved light tank the US ordnance corps working alongside Cadillac developed the M24. Keeping the vehicles weight down was the main factor and a sloping glacis allowed for thinner 25mm frontal armour. The 75mm M7 gun was a derivative of the light version used in bombers. Combined with a low silhouette and torsion bar suspension which gave it a smooth ride, it had a crew of five with and first saw action in the battle of the bulge in late 1944, after World War Two the M24 went on to serve Korea and was finally replaced by the M41 Walker Bulldog. |
