Looking for Deepwater Fording and Wadeproofing CMPs

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Lang

What a treasure trove information. I suspect that the desires for which one to scan and post will be quite varied. But so as to not impose might I ask that you do two one Ford and one Chevy for the most numerous type the 3 ton 4x4 that will cover 24% of the Canadian Production.

Lorry, 3-Ton Chevrolet (Long Immersion for driving in Water)
Lorry 3-ton Ford (Long Immersion)

From the point of historical value to CMP community it would be nice if all of them in time might be scan and preserved.

Found the picture of the Ford V8 on test stand to be most interesting, what a display to have. Can you imagine hearing and watching as that thing was lowered into a tank of water while it was running.

You also raise some very good information in terms of terminology, I was saying "Deep Water Fording" and "Wade Proofing" you added "Amphibious Operation" do the manuals draw the distinction. I'll add the phrase "Amphibious Operations" to my web search and see if I stir up an more information.

Thanks for responding to my question.

Cheers Phil
