PIONEER SKELETON TANK The
Quote:
Pioneer Tractor Company from Winona, Minnesota, (THAT'S MINNESOTA NICE) proposed a rather strange looking vehicle. Trying to mimic the trench-crossing abilities of the British rhomboid tanks while producing a lightweight vehicle led to one of the most distinctive prototypes of the war. While the tracks encircled a structure of the shape of its British inspiration, the crew was encased in an armored box at the center of the vehicle, with a gun turret on top and an engine on each side of the compartment. The driver had a small horizontal vision slit at the front of the tank in the upper middle section of the armored box. The commander/gunner had a vision slit in the turret.

Ford Seattle-ite? Yeah I know it's wrong but at least it's getting there.


Then again, six wheels could be in this style.

Oh crap, not 37 feet....


I'm not feeling it yet. The three passenger/crew limit is very specific but I'm not getting any bites with the flies I've been choosing....
