M3A1 Stuart Tank Allied forces, including some Canadian units, made extensive use of the American-built light tank during the Second World War. This tank is an M3A1, an upgraded version of the original M3. Its turret is a metal casting, and large parts of his hull were assembled by welding. This replaced the M3's riveted structures, reducing the tank weight and improving protection for its crew. Additional fuel tanks increased its range. A later version, the M5 light tank, also saw widespread service. This particular tank is on loan from the Australian War Memorial. M3 Stuart: ( visit link) Museum Guide: ( visit link)
