A pretty decent look at the first real U.S. tank, the M1917 Renault, with Len Dyer of the National Armor and Cavalry Restoration Shop.
The U.S. Army Tank Corps picked up just under 1,000 of these in the last days of WWI and they remained in service to one degree or another through the 1930s.
Posed 1920s US soldiers including 1903s, 37mm gun, BAR, light mortar and 1917 Renault tank
They made pretty good public relations tools, though…
