EXHIBIT #36

M39 APC USA

The M39 was manufactured between 1944 and 1952 with over 600 being produced. The M39 was the turretless version of its famous cousin, the M18 Hellcat, and made into a multi-purpose vehicle used in late WW2 and the Korean War. Its jobs consisted of being an artillery tractor, transportation tank, and an Armored Personnel Carrier.

The driver and radio operator sat in the front, where the armor was at its thickest. 12 soldiers sat in the middle of the tank, with the commander being in the very center of the 12. The M39’s only weapon was a 50-cal M2 machine gun, which has a range in excess of over 2,000 yds. The M39’s performance on cross-country and on roadways easily exceeded the M48 and M47 thanks to its lightweight and powerful engine.

Some M39s were sent to West Germany, whose army greatly enjoyed the vehicles and had little reason to greatly modify the M39. The only part that was modified was the floor. Wooden boards were put on the floor to strengthen it and increase its durability.
