John DuPont had a tank.
Though he did end up murdering Dave Schultz...
My dad worked with Jacques Littlefield at HP in Palo Alto in the seventies. His collection of armor made this pensioner’s look totally insignificant.
—”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.”
Tony Buzby the lawyer who ran for Mayor of Houston has a restored M4E8 Sherman on his front lawn. The HOA told him his high dollar classic pickup was unsightly so bought a tank.
