DescriptionM36 Jackson ‘U.S.A.40191688’ “Easy Tiger” (51685299730).jpg |
WW2 era American Tank Destroyer Official designation:- 90mm Gun Motor Carriage, M36 Built:- April 1944 to May 1945 Total production:- 2,324 Main armament:- 90mm Gun M3 The M36 was based on the sloped armour hull of the M10 tank destroyer, but had a new turret designed to carry the 90mm Gun M3. The type is often called the Jackson, although this name was actually invented post-war by a model kit company. They went on to serve with US forces in Korea and were also exported to several other countries, including Iran, Pakistan, South Korea, Turkey and Yugoslavia. In Taiwan they remained in use until at least 2001. This example is believed to have taken part in the Battle of the Bulge as part of the U.S. Army 703rd Tank Destroyer Battalion (703 TD). It went on to serve in both Korea and the Middle East before being loaned to the Israeli Army to help fight Syria and Egypt, after which it was shipped back to the USA and put into storage. It was later given to the Bosnian Army where it was kept in a maintained condition. While in Bosnia, it was fitted with a diesel engine taken from a Soviet T-55 tank. It was eventually purchased by British tank importer Marcus Glen and shipped to the UK where it was purchased by it’s current owners in 2012. Now privately owned and painted in American colours, she is seen visiting East Kirkby as part of the 2021 ‘Lanc, Tank and Military Machines’ event.
