| Subject: | Re: M32B3 service dates |  |
| Date: | May 10, 2006 |
| From: | Neil Stokes | |
Roberto...the M32B3 was introduced in late 1943-early 1944, so it's conceivable that some saw action. The TM date is Dec 9, 1943 and the U.S. Army's acceptance for the first M32B3 is given as March 1944.
That said, the in-service photographs I have from NWE show only M32s and M32B1s though. There are some pics from the Pacific that might be M32B2s or M32B3s, but can't be conclusively identified from the angles. Strangely enough, one pic shows a big hatch hull, which was extremely rare on the M32 series...apparently only 12 M32B2s were built with the big hatch hull. The HVSS conversions were done commencing in March 1945 so those would certainly have been unlikely to see action. I guess it's arguable.
