Us Army 75Mm Light Artillery M1A1 (Winter)

Small-calibre field artillery was not widely used in the American Army except by the Paratroopers and the Marines. A few other special forces preferred the small-calibre pack howitzer (75mm) because it could be moved easily. It could also be transported or dropped by parachute after breaking it down into its component parts. Airborne units so equipped won battle honors at Bastogne, Normandy, and Arnhem.
