Above photo is an M-3A1 'Stuart' Light Tank (I earlier identified this as just an M-3 but have since learned that the original M3 had sponson machine guns mounted on both sides of the driver(s) which were removed on the M3A1). Photo below shows an M3 "Stuart" Light Tank from the 13th Cavalry, 7th Cavalry Group (Mechanized) at Fort Knox with sponson machine guns mounted.

What kind of film and camera do you think he was using. Amazing for 1942 and even more amazing to see in 2009!

Pouletchalet, if you look at the larger size (All Sizes), you'll see "KODAK" on the right edge of the transparency. This is a 4x5" transparency, a format still used today. www.calumetphoto.com/1/3/4x5-transparency
