So what do you know about the fabled 4 US Halftracks that we were
supposed to have had (dunno if "operated" or just "acquired" or perhaps even "left behind"). Note that
I am NOT referring to the 16 or so imported into Oz in the late 1980s by
James S or subsequent ex-Israeli ones.

Doug,
as for the "borrowed" US 1/2 tracks. I have heard a couple of stories. This is the first time I have actually heard a specific number. There is nothing concrete but I enjoy turning over rocks so to speak so I will have a look.
Ref the 12 Army personnel that were involved in the D Day operations. I believe they were all officers of the rank of Major and above.
As for Aust use of M8s. If I find any more I will let you know.
I heard a while back that the other M8 may be coming on the market, just didn't know when. He may have plans there but this is not the stage.
