![]() | On 22 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to M1918 Ford three-ton tank. The result of the discussion was moved to M1918 Ford 3-ton tank. |
The term tankette wasn't used before the 1920s when the Morris-Martel vehicle was trialled by the British Army. [1] Charlie Landships ( talk) 23:34, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Hunnicutt in his book on the US Light Tank notes that the Ford 3-ton tank was referred to as "Ford three-ton tank" or, officially, as the "Three-ton Special Tractor M1918" - no mention of "tankette". I'd be inclined to go with Hunnicutt on this one - he had access to the US Army Ordnance Dept Archives. [2] Charlie Landships ( talk) 02:01, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
