[Alex Blair (RIP)]

Larry..
According to the gospel,the TM 9-2800 which is the tech manual listing all the standard US vehicles up to the publ;ished date the M3 series medium tank was "Commonly known as the General Lee"
Now the M3 .,M3A1,M3A2 had the R975 Continental 9 Cyl radial engine...
The M3A3 and M3A5 had the Twin Six diesel,6046 series 71,commonly called the 6-71...
The M3A4 had the Chrysler A-57 multibank engine...
The hulls were either Cast ,riveted or welded..
I will post examples of each and identify..
The pictured tank "Grant" appears to have a M3 Lee hull with maybe a Brit turret(I'm guessing)...It isn't a Lee turret that I can see..\

I have no info on the Grant ...and don't know how they became named Grant ...If someone could enlighten me ,I would be greatfull
M3..Riveted hull....
