• Early 30s The U.S. Army purchased a license to develop half-tracks and experimented with half-track adapters.
• The mobility of the vehicle improved markedly when using these adapters.
• The best known American half-tracks were the M series made as a standardized design by Autocar, Diamond T, International and White.
• The M series had a similar front end to the White M3A1 Scout Car but used more powerful engines: a 147bhp 6.3-liter White AX in the Autocar, Diamond T, and White, and a 143bhp 1HC in the International. Each version had four-speed gearboxes with two-speed transfer boxes and drive to the front axle as well as the tracked bogie.
• The M series half-tracks were widely used by US forces in most theatres of the war, and were also supplied under the Lend-Lease Program to Great Britain, Canada and the Soviet Union.
