LVT-4 FMC LANDING VEHICLE

Back to

In Service from 1944 to 1955. Developed by the FMC (Food Machinery Corporation). The LVT-4 design was preferred over the earlier models (LVT-1 to -3) due to it being easier and quicker to load and unload by the new addition of a rear ramp. Over 8,300 were built, and were first used in Saipan in June of 1944.
