This April 9, 1941, photograph shows the pilot M2 during testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Notice the Firestone tread pattern tires on the front axle. Photographic evidence suggests that only the initial production vehicles had this tread pattern, which was soon supplanted by the chevron tread pattern tires, which in turn were replaced by non-directional tread pattern tires.

It Must Be Spring — The Calendar Says So

By John Adams-Graf
Eric Petosa always wanted a WWII military vehicle. When he finally found an unrestored M16A2 , he hauled it back to his New York home to restore (foreground). He was surprised when his buddy, Greg Seeley, announced that he, too, had found a half-track to restore — an M16A1 (background). Now the two friends are able to show two variants of the same anti-aircraft vehicle.
