M8 Scott HMC
Based on the ubiquitous M5 Stuart light tank hull, the M8 75mm Howitzer MotorCarriage (HMC) provided much needed mobile artillery support to US assaultforces. Replacing the M5 Stuart turret with a more spacious open-topped turretto house a short-barrelled M2 (and later the M3) 75mm howitzer and a mix ofsmoke and high explosive ammunition. A pintle-mounted .50 Cal heavy machinegun provided additional defensive firepower.
Named after the American Civil War general, Winfield Scott, the M8 saw actionin North African, Tunisian, North West Europe, Italian and Pacific campaigns inWorld War II as well as during the Indochina and Vietnam wars. Fielded almostexclusively by US Army or USMC forces, a total of 1,778 M8 Scott HMCs wereproduced. The M8 was increasingly replaced in the self-propelled artillery roleby the M7 Priest and the M4 Sherman with 105mm howitzer – the M8s open-toppedturret would continue to be utilised on the support version of theLVT(A)-4 amphibious craft.
