As we remember the heroism and sacrifice of D Day, we look back at the history of these plucky little vehicles.
The DUKW, also known as the “Duck,” is a six-wheeled amphibious vehicle used in World War II by the US military for transporting good and personnel over water. They later proved their worth in the D Day landings.
Thank you to the 150,000 brave souls who made that journey 80 years ago today to fight for freedom. 😌
