Bodge, a huge thank you! You gave me exactly the informations I needed. Wow, you're just awesome! :-) Shatters, thank you too for the picture, very interesting.

Hello, I'm currently working on a writing project about a belgian comic titled "Buck Danny" which is about the adventures of USAF pilots. As part of this project, I'm trying to identify a strange vehicle, appearing from time to time in the comic books published during the 50's and early 60's. To put it simply, it's a CCKW truck with what look exactly like a control tower cab glass on its cargo bed. That's why I call it a "control tower truck". I wasn't able to find any information about this configuration. If it really exist, it seems to be a leftover from World War Two. The only approaching vehicle I could find is the M47 used as control tower by US Army aviation in Vietnam ( see here - I very much like more information on this one, too, by the way :-D) So, I'll greatly appreciate if someone could provide me details on the existence, and on the use of such "control tower" truck. :-)

Hello everybody, I'm Guillaume and I'm currently living in Brussels, Belgium. My main interest in military history concerns aviation (especially the Cold War period) but I'm also curious about vehicles. I've been reading this forum for a while, and I thought it would be nice to subscribe to say hello, thank everybody for the good reading provided by this forum, and ask a few questions from time to time. :-)
