FIGURE NOT INCLUDED
The L.V.T. tracked vehicles (an acronym for Landing Vehicle Tracked) were developed to equip the
United States armed forces, including the Army and the Marine Corps, with a suitable vehicle for
amphibious operations capable of providing a good level of protection. Often known as "Amtrac,"
they were widely used in the Pacific theater against Japanese forces, as well as in the European theater
during the last year of the war. The LVT-4, in particular, represented a significant improvement over
previous versions. With the redesign, the engine was relocated to a central position, freeing up the
rear of the vehicle for the addition of a ramp that allowed for the rapid loading and unloading of
light vehicles or small-caliber artillery pieces to support landing troops. It was the most successful
version with the highest number of vehicles produced.
