Ford 3-Ton M1918

The Ford 3-ton tank, also known as the Ford Model 1918 (M1918) was one of the first indigenous tank designs by the U.S. It was a small two-man, one-gun tank. Essentially the first tankette, it was armed with an M1917 Marlin machine gun, later an M1917 Browning machine gun, and could reach a maximum speed of 8 mph (13 km/h). The 3-ton had a 17-US-gallon (64 L) fuel tank that gave it a maximum range of 34 miles (55 km).
