Any one know of a picture on the web of a CTLS-4 TAC light MG armed tank sitting next to an M-3 Stuart tank so I would be able to see how the size differs? I have found pic's of it by its self or on manovers in Alaska with trucks and I have see film of one coming of a landing craft during the Torch landings but not with other tanks. |

There are several good pics of MG-armed CTLS tanks in "Marines Under Armor" by Ken Estes. But alas, the USMC used the CTLS-3 and -6 versions of the Marmon Herrington light tanks, and never operated the CTLS-4 TAC. I had the pleasure of spending an "intimate" moment with a Marmon Herrington light tank a few years back. This model was probably a CTMS-1TBI (13ton 3-man version of the CTLS-4 TAC 7ton 2-man tank). I never did figure out if this particular vehicle actually was a KNIL (Dutch East Indies) veteran. Got one pic:
There was an M3 (actually 2 of them) stored in that same facility. But the CTMS is rather larger than the CTLS to start with, and it would not have occurred to me to do a comparative shot in any case. -Mark
