Dragon Wagon is the second in a series of titles covering the U.S.
Army’s Heavy Tank Transporters. The first volume covered the
M25/M26 Pacific family of vehicles and trailers during their
service in WWII and Korea. Part 2 picks up the story with the
successor to the Pacific; the magnificent 10-ton M123 tractor. The
unarmored M123 soldiered on through the 1950s and Vietnam while
paired with the modernized M15A1 and M15A2 trailers from WWII. Also
covered is the rare and unusual M746 tractor with service pictures
from its brief career. Photo coverage includes lavish color shots
of the M123 in Vietnam, as well during development and testing.
Additional detail photos are provided of the M123A1C, M123E2 and
M746.
