M8/M20 Greyhound Scout Car

The M8 Greyhound was a popular and successful 6x6 armoured car that served American and British armies well throughout the war. Its crew of four served a 37mm gun, a co-axial .30 cal, with the more aggressive crews adding a .50 cal on the roof for anti-aircraft and local defence. It was used by the US Army in Italy, Northwest Europe and the Pacific – in the latter theatre its 37mm gun made it an effective tank destroyer, the role for which it was originally designed.
