The guy on the left must have been driving the lead tank -- he's sunburned, but clean. (Maybe he had time to wash up before getting his photo taken.)

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

A powerful looking photo of an almost worthless tank that was obsolete before it was ever built. It's saving grace was that these M-3's could be thrown together quickly to save the British in North Africa from being overrun by German tin cans. The M-3's did provide some useful training for our tank crews until the M-4 Shermans came along, and the chassis was adapted as a platform for the 105mm SP howitzer.
