Marmon-Herrington CTLS
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAR : Marmon-Herrington CTLS
The Marmon-Herrington CTLS was a US light tank produced for the export market at the start of the Second World War. The vehicle had a crew of two and was armed with three machine guns: one in a revolving turret and the others in the bow under the control of the driver.
A few saw combat in the Dutch East Indies against the Japanese. In mid 1942 a batch was diverted to Australia from the Dutch order where they were used for training.
After the attack on Pearl Habor some of these tanks were taken over by the US Marines and employed in Northern Alaska as the T14 and T15.
