The M42 Duster was a tracked antiaircraft vehicle developed by Cadillac for the US Army in the early 1950s. The vehicle adapted the Bofors 40 mm AA gun to a modified M41/T41 tank chassis. Although never particularly prolific in the intended air defense role, the Duster did find a niche during the Vietnam War. The M42 was relatively small and agile, and the high rate of fire and loud report from its guns were quite intimidating. These traits, along with simple availability, resulted in the type being pressed into ground combat against infantry and light vehicles, for which it received moderate acclaim. This volume includes over 300 photos of this quirky vehicle. Every nook and cranny of the interior and exterior is shown, along with many fascinating combat photos.

Comentariile autorului

  • The Duster was notable for its service in the Vietnam War, where it was feared by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.
  • Although designed as an anti-aircraft vehicle, the Duster proved surprisingly capable against light ground vehicles and infantry. 
  • Fast with rapid firing guns, the Duster makes for a great video game vehicle. The M42 appears in popular games such as World of Tanks and War Thunder.
  • The M42 is a hit with scale modelers, largely thanks to its unusual appearance.
