3D model description

G.M.C. DUKW 353 nicknamed "DUCK" ( duck )

In the case of amphibious landing operations, the unloading of boats cannot be carried out entirely by smaller boats. With this obvious difficulty in mind, the U.S. Army began thinking about an original concept for a half-boat, half-truck vehicle that would combine water travel with the ability to carry heavy loads.

From this study, the GMC DUKW 353 was born in June 1942. It was designed in less than 6 weeks by YELLOW TRUCK on the basis of a GMC AFKWX 353 with forward cab.

2 tons of supplies could be carried. Its land speed was close to 80 km/h, and its bronze propeller propelled it through the water at 10 km/h.

The DUKW's nickname was "DUCK" (duck), by phonetic analogy.
