![]() The Pup (CT3) was made in limited quantity for the Air Force, 36 seems to be the most used number for how many were built, in the 1942-43 time frame. Testing was done at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and possibly other places. One story that has been told, is that they were being considered for an air drop in Europe if D-day had been from the air instead of by Sea, the dates of manufacturing don't fit that story to well. They were, apparently, planned for dropping into battle via gliders. Six were reported shipped overseas. The Pup was 4 wheel drive and was powered by the prewar Crosley 2cyl opposed air cooled engine One is/was in a military museum at Ft. Eustis, VA, a second Pup is in the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, Pooler, GA. Several are known to exist in private collections. |
