书籍简介

M42“除尘器”（Duster）是凯迪拉克公司在20世纪50年代初为美国陆军研制的一种履带式防空车辆。该车将博福斯40毫米高射炮安装在改进型的M41/T41坦克底盘上。尽管在预定的防空任务中从未取得显著战果，“除尘器”在越南战争中找到了自己的用武之地。M42相对小巧灵活，其高射速和高爆的炮声极具威慑力。这些特点，加上易于获取，使得该车被投入地面作战，用于对抗步兵和轻型车辆，并因此获得了一定的赞誉。本书收录了300多张这款造型独特的车辆的照片，展示了其内外细节，以及许多精彩的战斗照片。

The M42 Duster was a tracked antiaircraft vehicle developed by Cadillac for the US Army in the early 1950s. The vehicle adapted the Bofors 40 mm AA gun to a modified M41/T41 tank chassis. Although never particularly prolific in the intended air defense role, the Duster did find a niche during the Vietnam War. The M42 was relatively small and agile, and the high rate of fire and loud report from its guns were quite intimidating. These traits, along with simple availability, resulted in the type being pressed into ground combat against infantry and light vehicles, for which it received moderate acclaim. This volume includes over 300 photos of this quirky vehicle. Every nook and cranny of the interior and exterior is shown, along with many fascinating combat photos.
