Fueling the Fightback
The
2 1/2ton fuel truck was a vital cog in the U.S. military machine during
WWII, supporting the American drive for air supremacy with its work
refueling and oiling a whole manner of aircraft. In fact, it was a
variant of a commonly-used 2 1/2ton truck that had its cargo bed
replaced with a massive tank and pump mechanism, the side of the tank
featured doors which allowed the crew access to pump the fuel. It was
typically crewed by 2, featured 6-wheel drive which allowed it to tackle
poor surfaces, and was powered by a 6-cylinder 4-stroke engine. It
particularly proved its worth once the U.S. began to capture airfields
near the front line without refueling facilities.
