The White Motor Company began its study and development of the M3 in
1938 to supply the United States Army with an armored reconnaissance
vehicle. Equipped with a 6 cylinder 110 Hp Hercules JXD petrol fueled
engine, it could reach a maximum speed of 81 Km/h. Equipped with
four-wheel drive, it was used for patrol, reconnaissance and command
post. The vehicle could carry up to 8 men and was armed with a 12.7 mm
Browning M2 machine gun plus two more Browning 7.7 mm machine guns on
the sides. It was first used in the Philippines campaign in 1941. Used
in North Africa and in Sicily, it was replaced during the war, for
advanced exploration tasks, by the more modern M8 Greyhound. Besides
being used by the American Army, it was used as well by the Armed Forces
of England, France and by some divisions of the Red Army who used it on the Eastern front to pull 76 mm ZIS-3 cannons.
