The success of the M113 as a Fighting vehicle gave rise to the development of the Bradley Fighting vehicle, which was intended for use by both infantry and cavalry units.
He covers the development of the M113, which was employed successfully in Vietnam and served as the basis for a family of Vehicles ranging from armored combat Vehicles to unarmored cargo carriers.
In his trademark style, Hunnicutt surveys the development of each armored personnel carrier since the end of WWII, illustrating his detailed History with line drawings and photographs.
One result of this program was the M59 armored infantry vehicle, which was pioneered as a low-production-cost vehicle and had the added benefit of being amphibious, a quality that became required in all armored personnel carriers that succeeded it.
Development continued into the postwar period.
To address this need, development began on full-tracked armored personnel carriers with overhead protection before WWII came to a close.
Operations in WWII indicated a need for an armored vehicle with improved protection and reliable mobility for transporting soldiers in and out of battle.
Hunnicutt\'s unrivaled 10-volume History of American armored Fighting Vehicles focuses on the spectrum of armored personnel carriers with a focus on the Bradley Fighting vehicle (BFV).
