Ford/Marmon-Herrington MGT's

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Nuyt,

Thanks for the info - I did not know the number of machine-gun trucks delivered to Surinam. I am surprised by their cost!

As far as I know, all three of the ½-ton trucks listed on my NEI Marmon-Herrington trucks page were Light Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun Trucks, intended to "protect emergency landings, temporary landing fields, fuel and ammunition dumps, etc.".
Thanks to you we know six were delivered to Surinam. Col. Herrington's personal notes do mention manufacture/delivery of "LLDMG5-4 Units for N.P.C." in 1941, but I have not found any references to numbers delivered. We do know a number of these must have been diverted to Australia, as proven by Bob's surviving truck.
