Biehler stated, "and therefore does not change the navy's pol icy of accepting 17-year-olds and men over 37 for voluntary en listment." .

Score? Four Tigers, two Mark IV's, four armored vehicles knocked out and hundreds of enemy troops killed, wounded or captured. Two M-18's damaged; neither beyond repair, and only minor injuries to their crews I Stories like that are legion. They account for words like this, coming straight from the front: "The vehicle itself is the finest track-laying vehicle in the army. It will outmaneuver any vehicle, go where others won't and has the speed of a wheeled vehicle. "X" company alone has accounted for 25 German tanks, two self-propelled guns and numerous wagons and trucks." That's what, Buick men and Ordnance officers were after when they joined hands to develop the M-18. They gave it hitting power - in a high-velocity 76-mm: cannon - traction to go anywhere -speed to outrace any other land vehicle. .
