Not too much that we don't know, but I'll tr...
A while ago there was some discussion about the relationship between the two above?gents and the origin of the trade name Caterpillar. Here's some more stuff. It goes over some old ground but I think some of it is new, even if it throws up some apparent contradictions. From Classic Caterpillar Crawle...
Could I ask for people's opinions on?this photo?? It shows a Mark IV Female, but with the unusual Crew number I.W4. 9th Battalion tanks always seem to have a full stop (period for our US readers!) after the Battalion I, so I'm assuming this is a 9th Battalion machine.? But "W"?? Could this me...

?Again a bit off topic, but this true descendant from the early landships,?a scratchbuilt PB 4 Rusian armored amphibious car (prototype) is nevertheless an interesting idea for being commented.? Of course it had a welded structure, ( was among the very first vehicules which abandoned the riveted...

The name is indistinct in the photo. Finally I found the film clip but the n...
