	Osprey Publishing - M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943-1985 - Review
		While the Chaffee did not see combat until late 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge it was well received by the troops and proved very capable for its main intended role of reconnaissance.
		Steven Zaloga’s "M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943-1985" is a concise and informative account of this US tank and its variants in WWII and the post war period which includes much information based on the author’s own research using US Army archives.
		The photos, which cover the Chaffee in use by a wide range of armies, are clearly reproduced and provide plenty of detail on the M24’s exterior that would be helpful to modellers.

		One of the most prominent identifying features of the M24 Chaffee was the large steering assembly access hatch in the glacis plate.
		The 75mm gun M6 in the M24 was a tank-mounted version of the 75mm gun M5 that was fielded in the B-25H Mitchell bomber.
		Former M5 guns mounted in Chaffees are identifiable by a grooved collar situated close the muzzle which allowed the gun to be mounted in the B-25H's concentric recoil mechanism.

	Osprey Publishing - M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943—85
		The Light Battalions of US Armored Divisions were initially filled with M3A1 and M5 Stuart tanks, however, on the battlefields of North Africa it was realised that these were disastrously under armoured and gunned, and a replacement, or the abandonment of light tank doctrine, was desperately needed.
		It wasn't until the last few months of WWII that the M24 Chaffee came into service and it was extensively used in combat from the Battle of the Bulge to the final campaigns in Germany.
		This book will trace the history of this design, its combat record in World War II, its many variants, and its extensive combat record post 1945.

	M24 Chaffee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Light Tank M24 was an American light tank used during World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War.
		The M24 was not up to the challenge of fighting German tanks, but the bigger gun at least gave its crews a chance to fight back when it was required.
		The contribution of the M24 to winning the war in Europe was insignificant, as they arrived too late and in too few numbers to replace the worn out M5s of the armored divisions.

		During the Korean conflict the Chaffee was one of the first and only US tanks available from US forces in Japan to face the North Korean T-34/85s in their initial armored attacks toward Seoul in the summer of '50.
		The little M24 tank was outgunned and not equal to the task, but it was quick and nimble and the crews did what they could to slow the North Korean advance South.
		Because the Chaffee still maintained the front sprocket drive, the drive shaft from the rear engines/transmissions passed forward along the floor to the bow along the hull's centerline.

	M24 Chaffee Early SOLD OUT - The Model Warehouse
		Pieces: NA The light tank M 24 has been a project required by the US Army at the end of the 2nd World War to replace the armored vehicles M 8 and M 20 Greyhound that were having serious problems to fight with similar vehicles of the German army.
		The Chaffee, equipped with a 76 mm gun, was able to fulfill these requirements providing a vehicle with a faster speed and a better equipment.
		The M 24, mainly active in Italy and Germany during the final phase of the 2nd World War, has been in service with the Allies armies for many years in the Fifties, mainly with the French army during the Indochina war.

		Its development to replace the obsolescent M3 and M5 light tanks is clearly described, together with brief mention of the T7 “light” which metamorphosed into the M7 medium tank before being cancelled.
		The photographs are well-chosen to show various features, and clearly captioned, and the colour plates give a good spread on users and times.
		Highly recommended, especially for those wanting to build the new “early M24” kit from Italeri as photos of the early ones are not exactly thick on the ground – you’ll find some here.

		The work was done by the US Ordinance Department and the Cadillac motor division of General Motors, and the first production vehicle appeared in April 1944.
