The 57mm M1 anti-tank gun was a close copy of the British QF 6pdr which was itself also used by some American units, being introduced in 1943 into US Army units.
It was subsequently used by US airborne forces with a light carriage that allowed it be landed by glider, providing useful defence against enemy armour, though it was only effective against German heavies at close range or from the flanks.
This pack contains:
- One metal 57mm gun
