The 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 was a self-propelled howitzer vehicle of the United States developed during World War II. The M8 was based upon the Light Tank M5, but incorporated several changes. Like the Light Tank M5, the M8 had a crew of four; commander, gunner, driver, and assistant driver/loader. When the M8 was in action, the commander positioned himself at the antiaircraft machine gun and directed his crew, the gunner sat in the turret on the right side of the howitzer, the assistant driver/loader moved up from his seat in the right front hull, and the driver stayed at his position. Developed from the M5 Stuart light tank, the M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage entered production in September 1942. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
