Technical Information

Background
The Light Tank M24 was an American light tank used during World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War and with the French in the First Indochina War and war in Algeria. In British service it was given the service name Chaffee, after the United States Army General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., who helped develop the use of tanks in the United States armed forces.

On October 15, 1943 the first pilot tank was delivered. During 1944, full production began under the designation Light Tank M24 at two factory locations. During April 1944 at Cadillac and during July 1944 at Massey-Harris. By the time production ended in August 1945, a total of 4,731 M24s were built at both factories with some supplied to the British Army.
