The use of 5-ton trucks for hauling material and for special purposes has a long tradition within the U.S. Army. Since its introduction from 1982 the M939 series of tactical trucks is the backbone of U.S. military transport all over the world. This publication shows the development history and technology ranging from prototypes, standard variants and specialised vehicles to the recent up-armoured versions. This comprehensive documentation closes another vital gap in U.S. tactical truck history. This volume is illustrated with 142 colourphotographs, which are partly in large scale. The text is completely bilingual English/German.
