—”John DuPont had a tank.”
Not exactly!
I have a bit of experience with APCs and the scars and the gong to prove it from it being flipped after hitting a mine.
Local legend had it that an AK projectile would whizz through the first side and bounce around inside an APC.
That should never happen with a tank.
“John du Pont, who is facing charges of murdering Olympic wrestling champion David Schultz, liked to tool around his Newtown Square, Pa., estate in an armored personnel carrier. He called it his “tank.” It was really an M-113 armored personnel carrier.”
I don’t know of anything that has a rougher ride than an M-113. It seemed like you could feel every pebble along the path, let alone the real bumps.
Thank you for the correction. I just remember them saying he had a tank on the news.
Those grounds are no longer the DuPonts.
They donated the land and it’s now where Episcopal Academy sits.
