US ARMY M16 QUAD-GUN ANTI-AIRCRAFT HALF TRACK

CORGI CLASSICS "BATTLE OF THE BULGE" COLLECTION

Corgi Classics presents their World War II Collection, July - December 2004. A unique collection of 1:50 scale die-cast models meticulously recreated to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge, the push through Holland and Germany, and the War in the Pacific.

HISTORICAL NOTE:    The M16 was the standard US Army light antiaircraft vehicle used following the Normandy invasion with every armored division having an AAA Weapons Company with eight M16s. These units were often used to protect key sites dumps from enemy air attack. By the end of the war the general absence of the Luftwaffe meant that these M16s could be used in a ground support role, where they earned the nickname “meat-choppers”.
