Never seen one of these

[quote="Tad Wicks"]I saw this little guy the other day. I don't know if one has been featured on here before, I had to run down a Docent and he had to run down some one else to find out what it is. I bet it beat the heck out of a shovel. Sorry for the fuzzy pixs. Tad

They were manufactured by Clark for the US Army airborne forces, I've seen photos of them inside a glider during the holland airborne operation.

Hi Tad,

What museum is that in? I know there is one in the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio but I take it this one is in California? I like the high rise seat on it, that would make it much more comfortable. Thanks.

Very Nice exhibit, WWII Gallery, National Museum of the United States Air Force.

I believe everyone should spend a few days here, certainly can not begin to see it in a day or two! Price is right -- Free Admission.

If I'm not mistaken, Garlic Mom just purchased one at auction late last year.

That little 4 cylinder in those was a Waukesha Engine! When I worked there many years ago, the Field Service Department would get a call or two a year inquiring about parts for them. Most times for Combines or Starting Engines(pony) but once in a while for a CLARK Airborne!
