United States M5A1 "Stuart" Light Tank.

The M5 Stuart was an American light tank of World War II.  The M3 Stuarts were the first "American manned (US) tanks in WWII" to engage the enemy in tank vs tank combat.  The name General Stuart or Stuart given by the British comes from the American Civil War Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart and was used for both the M3 and the derivative M5 Light Tank.

In British and Canadian service it also had the unofficial nickname of Honey, named when a tank driver remarked "She's a honey".  This tank, crewed by 4, weighs 16 tons and has a top speed of 40 MPH. It features a 37mm cannon and 3 medium machine guns.

 

Char Léger Américain M5A1 Stuart

Le M5 Stuart était un char léger américain de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Les M3 Stuart étaient les premiers chars utilisés par des soldats américains durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale à affronter l'ennemi en combat opposant deux chars.  Le nom de Général Stuart ou Stuart donné par l`Armée britannique vient du général confédéré de la guerre de Sécession J.E.B. Stuart et a été utilisé pour le M3 et son dérivé, le char léger M5.

Dans les armées britannique et canadien, on lui a également fait donne le surnom non officiel de "Honey", provenant d`une remarqué de l`un des chauffeurs de char : "She`s a honey".  Le présent char, pouvant accueillir une équipe de 4 personnes, pèse 16 tonnes et a une vitesse maximum de 40 m/h.  Il comporte un canon de 37mm et 3 mitrailleuses moyennes.
