Top 10 Weird Military Cars of World War I
...........
...
.
This is a list of ten weird military cars produced up to 1918, including combat vehicles, armoured cars and armored trucks. Most of them were employed in the First World War – A global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. >> Best Attack Helicopters in The World.
10. Garford-Putilov Armoured Car
Garford-Putilov armoured cars were a type of armoured fighting vehicle produced in Russia during the First World War era. Although considered to be a rugged and reliable machine by its users, the Garford-Putilov was severely underpowered. With a total weight of about 11 tons, and only a 30 hp engine, the vehicles had a top speed of approximately 10–11 mph (16–18 km/h). The design was also overloaded (top-heavy), and therefore had very limited off-road capability.
9. Ehrhardt E-V/4
The E-V/4 Panzerkraftwagen Ehrhardt was one of the first examples of a type of high and flatsided armoured car design that the Germans used almost until the start of the Second World War for internal policing duties. It weighed nearly 9 tons, had a crew of eight or nine, and carried an armament of up to three machine-guns.
8. Austin Armoured Car
Austin Armoured Car was a British armoured car produced during the First World War. The vehicle is best known for its employment by the Russian Army in the First World War and by different forces in the Russian Civil War.
7. Büssing A5P
The Bussing A5P was an armoured car produced in Germany during World War I. The production of A5P began in 1916 and produced in limited numbers. Its power plant was Bussing’s successful 6-cylinder truck engines. It had a large steel armoured body and was crewed by 10 men. 6 of the crew operated three 7.92 mm machine guns, usually the MG 08 or MG 15 nA. Some vehicles even received two 20 mm cannon. The A5P served on the Eastern Front until 1917.
6. Jeffery Armored Car
The Jeffery Armored Car was developed by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1915. The car No.1 was used in by General John Pershing’s 1916 Pancho Villa Expedition in Columbus, New Mexico for training. Pancho Villa was far into Mexico at that time and there are no records on its use in fighting.
5. Lanchester
The Lanchester Armoured Car was a British armoured car produced during the First World War. In 1914, the Lanchester was the second most numerous armoured car in service after the Rolls-Royce. It was originally designed to support air bases and retrieve downed pilots.
