Overview

By David Doyle.
The best-known American armored car of the post-WWII era, the
Cadillac Gage Commando - a versatile, amphibious, 4x4 vehicle -
still looks modern even though it made its debut in 1962. The
V-100 Commando went through numerous changes in light of its
extensive and varied experience in reconnaissance, convoy escort,
riot control, security, and as a personnel carrier. As it proved
its worth to America's South Vietnamese allies and later to US
forces in Southeast Asia, Cadillac Gage introduced one
modification after another in response to evolving combat needs.
Although US military use of the Commando declined after the end
of the Vietnam War, many Commandos were rebuilt and to this day,
serve police forces and SWAT teams in Europe and the US, while
various armies around the world still use descendents of the
combat version. Illustrated with over 200 color photographs
plus detailed line drawings; 80 pages.
