vehicle historical data.
This particular
hull style, with the square drivers cupolas and the
M34 Mantlet, became the main source for the Firefly
conversion; the Firefly Vc
(see
Premier kit UK01 ), and also for the Armoured Recovery
Vehicle Mk.I
(see Premier
kit UK79 ).
This is also
the hull type that the British had shipped to India
for the planned advance against Japanese in Burma. However
the US Govt. requested the return of these vehicles
in order to equip Chinese Provisional Tank Battalions,
several of which operated under American advisors in
China and Northern Burma. These were the only M4A4's
used outwith British Commonwealth forces.
