In Blueprint for Victory, Gregg states that Ford completed the Carrier assembly line in February 1941 and commenced production. In Military Vehicles Profiles he states that the first production carrier rolled out of the plant on Feb 8, 1941. By the end of 1941, 3000 had been produced.
The second picture is a Canadian produced Carrier in Tunisia from Blueprint for Victory.
