The M24 Chaffee, named after General Adna R. Chaffee Jr., entered service in late 1944 as a replacement for the M5 Stuart. Its 75mm gun provided significantly improved firepower while maintaining excellent mobility and reliability. The innovative twin Cadillac V8 engine configuration and torsion bar suspension made it one of the most advanced light tanks of its era, serving with distinction in Northwest Europe, Korea, and with allied nations through the 1970s.
