Self-propelled M19 with twin 40mm Fore-2004 cannons.

Description

The M19 was a self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle used by the United States Army during World War II and the Korean War.
Mounted on the chassis of the M24 Chaffee tank, the M19 was equipped with two 40 mm Bofors automatic cannon, designed to provide mobile air defense against low-altitude enemy aircraft.
Development of the M19 began in 1943 in response to the need for an improved self-propelled anti-aircraft platform.
Its armament arrangement allowed rapid fire against moving targets, both in the air and on the ground, making it versatile in combat.
Although it arrived late in World War II, its performance was crucial in the Korean War, where M19 units were also used against infantry and light vehicles. Includes:
