Lvt(4) Amtrac

The LVT(4), also known as the "Alligator," was a groundbreaking amphibious vehicle designed for military use during World War II. Developed by philanthropists Donald and John Roebling, it played a crucial role in the Pacific campaign, capable of navigating challenging terrains like coral reefs and swamps. The innovative rear ramp design allowed for easier troop deployment. With over 8,000 units produced by various manufacturers, the book features archival and detailed photographs that highlight the history and significance of this iconic vehicle, of which only a few remain today.
