Half-track is a vehicle that utilizes both tracks and wheels as running gear. 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. A total of 41,170 were made. The m16 quadmount version of the half-track proved very successful and became the standard light anti-aircraft armored vehicle.
