N.O.S. Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I would imagine that is a photo taken in England on an 8th AF base - pretty much all vehicles had CLHDNS on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) :blush: Yes, I think you could be right! :blush: Although looking at this one http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?25150-Could-this-be-the-most-poorly-applied-Stencil&highlight=worst+stencil it is only just a little higher. Mostly Jeep CLHDNS were on the canvas - but if used without a canvas, wouldn't this position be the best alternative? Edited August 12, 2012 by N.O.S.

dogtags Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The best name I've come across in a while - ASSRON. On the cab of a 4- to 5-ton 4x4 Tractor Truck, most likely an Autocar Model U-7144T. Original caption: Gasoline truck being filled from underground storage tanks. These tanks were the first permanent installation to be built after the invasion of Ewajelein, Marshall Islands. 5 July 1944 NARA Reference 342-FH-3A41701-63770AC ~Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Great picture, Robert! I've had that one a while (collecting images of F-1A trailers, and never noticed the name :blush:), but always assumed it was Italy. No white star either??? Seems that ASSRON is/was used an acronym for AIR SERVICE SUPPORT SQUADRON - ARMY. This sounds very much like a post war thing when acronyms became popular, although it does fit with the wartime scenario of the air Forces being part of the Army (USAAF) rather than a separate entity after 1947 (as in USAF). Perhaps it's best to regard it simply as a great vehicle name :-D Edited October 4, 2012 by N.O.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
