DESCRIPTION
About the U.S. 40 Ton Tank Transporter "Dragon Wagon"

During the Second World War, the development of heavy tanks
continued at a fevered pitch. To deploy these tanks to the front
line, or retrieve them when damaged or broken, the necessity of a
large-scale transport vehicle was heightened. In April of 1943,
the U.S. started production of "The Dragon Wagon", one of the
biggest tank transport vehicles of WWII. Constructed around an
armored cabin and a sturdy trailer, it boasted a loading capacity
of 40 tons. Also assisting in the transport of boats for river
crossing operations, the Dragon Wagon was a great advantage to
the advancement of the Allied Forces.
