Why This 'Toy' Carrier Outproduced Every Tank in WW2
He died in a plane crash in 1935. He never saw a single one of his machines go to war. His name was John Valentine Carden, a quiet British engineer whose radical idea would become the most-produced armored vehicle in the history of warfare. This is the remarkable true story of the Universal Carrier — the small, open-topped, lightly armored machine that outproduced the Sherman, outproduced the Tiger, and served on every front of World War II. From the beaches of Dunkirk to the deserts of North Africa, the jungles of Burma, and the deadly hedgerows of Normandy, this “toy” that German soldiers once kicked in contempt carried ammunition, wounded soldiers, radios, and flame into places no tank could reach. A powerful tribute to an unsung genius and the humble machine that quietly helped win the war.
