Rare M1 Combat Car footage.

Rare M1 Combat Car footage.

M1 Combat car was developed and built by the Rock Island Arsenal built, It was based on the British Vickers 6-ton tank, after three prototypes were built and tested.
it was developed to be carried by trucks and to support of infantry units, and the development was very restrictions on expensive vehicles, so not many prototypes were build for every vehicle, the tanks developed for the cavalry were designated "combat cars" and would not be designated as Tankette like other countries would do.

The M1 would enter service in 1937 and was very similar to the M2 light tank. even due it was in service until 1943 it would only see action in the Philippines and only 113 were produced, and most of them were actually used for training.
