DirkvandenBol Posted October 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2016 I have been searching for a while for Field Manuals about the recovery of vehicles. This because we have ww2 US army recovery vehicles and I can't find a Field Manual about the recovery in the field. Maybe someone can help me with this.

robinb Posted October 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2016 There is an Engineer manual that has a chapter on recovering vehicles. I have a copy in my library if I can find it I'll get you the number of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted October 20, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2016 Ernie Pyle stated that the ordnance dept recovered and repaired wrecked vehicles...not sure if that is by the book or an observation he made in the field...but he had a few good stories about recovering a few tanks...
