DUKW

The DUKW (or Duck) was used extensively by Allied armies during WWII from the Mediteranean to the Pacific to North West Europe. Based on the GMC 2.5ton 6x6 Cargo Truck, the DUKW was modified by fitting an amphibious hull and connecting a propeller to the rear. The driver could vary the DUKWs tyre pressure from the driver position to cope with differing ground conditions such as sand and road.
