The DUKW is an American amphibious vehicle used on a large scale during World War II. The DUKW was powered by a 6-cylinder carburettor engine with a capacity of 90HP, it had all-wheel drive and it moved in the water thanks to a single propeller located at the rear of the vehicle. The first copies were made at the General Motor Company in 1942 and by the end of the war, more than 21,000 had been produced. The DUKW was a universal vehicle with high speed on the road as well as good seaworthiness. Interestingly, it was one of the first to allow the driver to adjust the tyre pressure, which made it suitable for both dirt roads and sandy beaches. The Allies used the DUKW in all theatres of war and built various weapons on it: from Browning machine guns, through 105mm M2 howitzers to unguided missiles. The last copies were withdrawn from service in the 1970s.
