The rare M2-A1 but evolutionary medium tank
Len Dyer of the National Armor and Cavalry Restoration Center discusses the M2-A1 medium tank in the latest edition of Tank Talk.
Just 94 of these little 18-ton gems were made by the Rock Island Arsenal in 1939 as a larger development of the M2 Light Tank. It was obsolete before it ever left the assembly line and, while the M2 Medium never served overseas, it proved useful in maneuvers before the war and in crew training during WWII.
