M4A4 Sherman

M4A4 Sherman General Type: Medium Tank Owner: America Specifications Armament . . . .

History

The M4A4 variant of the Sherman tank was designed and built by Chrysler, it used Chrysler's A57 multibank engine which required lengthening the hull slightly. The A57 was the only engine specifically designed for use in the Sherman tank, the others being modified from aircraft or truck engines. Chrysler built 7499 of them between July 1942 and November 1943. The US Army however preferred the M4A3 over the M4A4 and so nearly all of them were given to Britain, France and China under Lend-Lease. The British then modified over 2000 of them into the 17pdr equipped Firefly.
