(Military Tanks) M42A1 Duster

An extensive collection of M42 ‘Duster’ recordings from Rob Nokes.

The M42 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun, or “Duster”, is an American armored light air-defense gun built for the United States Army from 1952 until December 1959, in service until 1988. Production of this vehicle was performed by the tank division of the General Motors Corporation. It used components from the M41 light tank and was constructed of all-welded steel.

The 500 hp, six-cylinder,  air-cooled, gasoline engine is located in the rear of the vehicle. It was driven by a cross-drive, two-speed Allison transmission. Although the M42 Duster was initially designed for an anti-aircraft role, it proved highly successful when used against unarmored ground forces.
