| Description |
English: s/n 17091.
Built in December 1942 by Chrysler at the Detroit Tank Arsenal where she was completed as a standard M4A4 with a 75mm M3 tank gun. She was delivered to the UK under lend-lease agreements and served in Europe until the end of WW2. She was then transferred to France for their post-war Army. She was sold to the Israeli Army in the late 1950s and upgraded to M-50 standard with a French CN 75-50 75mm gun, which required a counterweight fitting to the rear of the turret. In the late 1960s the original petrol engine was replaced with a 460hp Cummins VT8-460 diesel, which made her what is generally known as a Super Sherman Mark II, although in Israel she was still just an M-50. She fought in both the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War before being sold off in the late 1980s. She was returned to the USA and has since been painted in WW2 US Army markings. Since 2007 she has been part of the Cavanaugh Flight Museum and is seen on display at the Commemorative Air Force’s ‘Wings Over Dallas’ WWII Airshow. Dallas Executive Airport, Redbird, Dallas, Texas. 27th October 2019 |
