 M2 Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bradley, named after WWII General Omar Bradley, is a replacement for the M113 family of APCs and consists of two types of vehicles, the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle.
The M3 CFV was originally going to be named after General Jacob L. Devers, but it was decided the Bradley name would apply to both, since both vehicles are based on the same chassis (they differ in only some details).
The Bradley is equipped with the M242 25 mm chain gun as its main weapon.

There were no reports of the Bradley's armor "burning" from flash fire as some had predicted during the survivability debates of the mid-80's, and a "mid-crisis crisis" in which some claimed the transmission would fail in the Bradley passed by with less than a dozen vehicles found with that problem.

He describes the difference between the M2 infantry and M3 cavalry versions down to seating capacity and ammunition loads, with plenty of accompanying photographs.
This level of detail on a vehicle still in service is unprecedented.

The only nits I could find was that Zaloga transposed H-series and J-series organization, and considering that the book was written in the mid-1990s, he doesn't mention the reorganization of Bradley squads around 1989-1990 when the six-passenger A2 series was fielded.

One thing I really would have liked to have seen is a list of when each unit upgraded to what model of the Bradley, but that's me.

This book has an incredible amount of useful information in it about the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

According to Hunnicutt’s Bradley book, there should be 84 links on the left side and 82 on the right side of a Bradley, 89 on the left side and 88 on the right side of an MLRS, 84 on both sides of un-modified AAVP7s and 85 per side on the modified AAVP7 with return roller.
As this is the so-called “live track”, on the Bradley, MLRS, and modified AAVP7, there should be no sag, so the tracks must be mounted accordingly, which may cause some problems for the average modeler.
To ease the chore, the modeler may wish to modify the kit’s idler wheel mount, in order to be able to adjust the idler to tighten the track.
