M29 weasel/doodlebug
#10

Thanks every one. The weasel was made by Studebaker it came in two versions. The m29 which is 10" long and 5' wide it had seats for three in the back and one for the driver on the left side,it would float. The second one was the m29-c it was the same as the m29 but had float tanks attached to the front and back with two rudders and a capstan. I have found a picture of one combat engineer weasel on line its markings are- 1A 146E HQ27 - "Barge With A Charge" it is on www.military.com ,I believed they spelled it Wiesel. The main web page for weasels is www.m29cweasel.org .During the winter they were usually painted white with black spots and stripes. They had self sealing gas tanks and a built in self destruct box with a timer. If this jogs anyones' memory let me know.There are no known pictures of them being armed.
