M7 PRIEST: Images of War Series

1-218860

Includes 20 color and 190 black and white photographs of the M7 Howitzer Motor Carriage, dubbed the Priest. This was the most successful and widely used example of American self-propelled artillery during WWII, with examples used by the US Army during the Korean war, and even serving Allied countries into the 1970s. Coined the Priest due to its pulpit-like structure for the gun commander, this armored fighting vehicle would see action in North Africa, Italy, and the D-Day landings in Normandy and all the way to Germany.
