Lend Lease Studebaker US6s
Does anyone know how many Studebaker US6 trucks were shipped to Australia during WW2? I was looking at Oliver Missing's great website on Lend-Lease vehicles to the USSR and noticed that almost the entire production run of the US6 6x6 with and without winch were shipped to Russia. I cannot find any figures on US6s shipped to Australia. I know that the US6 is VERY scarce here in the United States. Out of about 200,000 made (both 6x6 and 6x4), 150,000 (approx.) were shipped to the USSR, leaving roughly 50,000 for the rest of the allies----BUT most of these were the US6 6x4 model according to the figures. Any input is greatly appreciated.
