The M4 Sherman tank was the most widely used Allied medium tank in World War II. The United States retired the last Sherman from its military in 1957, but Shermans remained in use elsewhere for decades. This particular Sherman was manufactured in 1944 in Detroit, Michigan. It’s an M4A3(76)W/M4A3E8, also known as an “Easy Eight,” model, which incorporates improvements in the main gun, armor, and suspension compared to earlier versions of Sherman tanks. The tank’s name is Thunderbolt. Seen at the Military Vehicle Show sponsored by the Liberty Aviation Museum, Port Clinton, Ohio.
