	M10 Wolverine Lightweight and equipped with a high-powered anti-tank gun, the American M10 “Wolverine” was designed to be a tank destroyer. The M10 had mobility and long-range capacity, which made it an effective weapon as long as it stayed out of range of heavier tanks. Unfortunately, its lightweight construction made it vulnerable within range of a bigger tank such as a German Tiger..
	M4 Sherman The U.S. M4 Sherman was not the most powerful or most heavily armored tank on the battlefield, yet it served its purpose as a very reliable fighting machine. Because more Sherman tanks were produced than any other tank in World War II, these tanks often out-numbered enemy vehicles. The Sherman was arguably the most important tank of its time.
	M3 Half-Track The American M3 armored personnel carrier (APC) was one of the most widely used half-tracks in World War II. With wheels in front and a tank-like track system in the rear, the M3 served many purposes. Able to carry up to 12 men, the M3 could also tow artillery or be equipped with a variety of armaments, including anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, heavy artillery, and mortars.
	Willys Overland Jeep MB This versatile 4-wheel drive vehicle could go places that couldn't be reached by any other vehicle, and the U.S. produced more than 700,000 of them during WWII. The Jeep could be used for short transport trips, reconnaissance, and even for fighting when fitted with a machine gun. “Jeep” comes from the pronunciation of GP, the abbreviation for General Purpose vehicle.
	M7 Priest The M7 Howitzer was built to fulfill the growing need for mobile firepower to support frontline soldiers. Built on the chassis of the M3 Medium Tank, this full-track, self-propelled gun was created with enough armor to protect itself and enough firepower to support infantry operations. The “Priest” was one of the best howitzer carriages in the early part of World War II.
	B-17 Flying Fortress The B-17 helped turn the tide of the war by delivering heavy blows to the Third Reich. Though maneuverable for a large aircraft, America’s standard heavy bomber was still an inviting target for fast German fighters like the Messerschmitt. The B-17 bomber was utilized effectively as a scout plane in the Pacific, assisting the U.S. Navy in the battle against the Japanese fleet.
	SBD-6 Dauntless The SBD-6 Dauntless was such a reliable carrier-based dive-bomber that many pilots preferred it to the newer “Hellcat.” The Dauntless had an unparalleled record, having the lowest loss rate of any aircraft in World War II. It wasn’t the fastest plane in the American fleet, but it was a very steady aircraft. The Dauntless gave pilots a better opportunity to hit their targets on bombing runs.
	P-51 Mustang Fast and agile, the P-51 Mustang also had great range and the ability to wreak havoc on the enemy. This sleek fighter served many purposes during World War II, including flying bomber escort on long-range missions over Germany. Before the Mustang arrived on the scene, U.S. bombers on daylight missions into the Fatherland were easy prey for Luftwaffe fighters on the prowl.
	F4U Corsair The gull-wing Corsair was one of the fastest, most able American fighter planes in WWII. Boasting an Impressive combat ratio of 11:1 against enemy fighters, the Corsair is credited with over 2,000 aerial combat victories in the Pacific. It was also an effective weapon against ground forces. The Japanese named the Corsair “The Whistling Death” due to its unique sound when attacking.
	USS Enterprise The 19,800-ton USS Enterprise was the most decorated and feared vessel in the U.S. fleet. Engaging in nearly every major sea battle in the Pacific, the Enterprise contributed to the demise of 911 enemy aircraft, and she sank or crippled well over 200 enemy ships. The “Big E” is credited with sinking two Japanese carriers alone and a third in collaboration with the Yorktown.
	HMS Prince of Wales The HMS Prince of Wales engaged Germany’s battleship Bismarck in one of the crucial turning points of WWII. Though seriously damaged, the Prince of Wales sunk the Bismarck in what is now regarded as one of the great naval victories of the war. Two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese aircraft attacked and destroyed the Prince of Wales.
	USN Fletcher Class The U.S. Navy started building the first Fletcher class destroyer in October 1939. Within two and a half years, the Navy had 175 Fletcher class destroyers ready for action. With a powerful arsenal of guns and torpedoes, the Fletcher destroyer could pound the enemy with immense firepower. The Fletcher destroyer remained in service until 1969, seeing action in Korea and Vietnam.
	USN Gato Class Though the U.S. submarine fleet consisted of only 1.6% of the total Navy personnel from 1941 to 1945, it accounted for over 60% of all Japanese ships sunk during this period. By striking with sudden, silent force, U.S. submarines effectively shut down Japan’s supply lanes in the Pacific. These powerfully armed subs had long-range capability and high cruising speed.
	LCVP Higgins Boat Designed to transport fully armed troops and the material necessary for amphibious assault, these boats were the perfect vehicles for landing thousands of troops in a relatively short timeframe. In addition, by using the “Higgins Boats” to establish beachheads, Allied forces didn’t have to rely on securing ports, which were, in most cases, more heavily defended.
