Over in the Army Projects section of this forum I came across a thread on a declassified 1946 report of the U.S. National Defense Research Committee, Division 12, "Transportation Equipment and Related Problems." The report is a collection of scientific analyses and research on everything from...

It would appear to be a large Supercat style ATV fitted...
