Combat & M3 Lee pilot
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Looks like someone had seen pictures of the M3 Lee pilot.

Well it says the comics are from the '60s so the illustrator probably just looked at old publicity pictures in Life and Sat Eve Post magazines and in the various 'Pictorial history of the War' books that came out in the late war and post war era and coverd it by time periods. It's interesting looking at the publicity pictures that were put out. There were lots of the M-6 heavy tank as well as various early Lee tanks. I assume at least part was a disinformation campaign.

Just like those pictures of "PzKpfw V" (ie Nb.Fz.) heavy tanks in Norway!

The illustrator was probably a kid and remembered the publicity photo from WW2. It was probably the definition of a tank in his mind.

Didn't the earliest Shermans also have the two MGs in the bow as well? I think it was meant to be one of these...

jcneel - Yes, early Shermans (like Michael below) had bow MGs. However, I'm pretty certain I can see the right-side hull mount for the 75mm gun of an M3 Lee/Grant in the comic cover above.

This cover is an unabashed copy of a war-time poster. I don't remember if it was for joining the Tank Corps or buying War Bonds or what. I've been searching on the net and in my references, but I haven't found it yet. I may have seen it at the Patton Museum.

I do remember seeing a very similar WWI poster - but not so sure of a WWII one...

Post subject: Re: Combat & M3 Lee pilot

Ok - I see the structure looking thing to the right. But I think that might be the curved portion of the cast hull of the M4A1 with a star painted on it. Another reason I think that it might be an early M4 is that the MGs are in the center and not off to the right. As per your (Neil's) photo in another thread about Lee and Grant tanks:



but then, that just may be artistic expression - it is after all, only a comic book cover.....

Actually I think you're probably right - what I was thinking was the hull 75 gun mount is probably just the right fender...
