Arsenal: M41 Walker Bulldog in Armored Reconnaissance, the Cold War
Arsenal: M41 Walker Bulldog in Armored Reconnaissance, the Cold War follows this fast, hard-hitting light tank from the Bay of Pigs beaches to South Vietnamese ridgelines during Lam Son 719 and the Easter Offensive. Listeners hear the Walker Bulldog in action under fire, the postwar problem it was built to solve, how designers chased speed and firepower on a light chassis, and what life felt like for four-man crews inside its cramped turret. The episode traces its combat record, export wars, late-life upgrades, and lasting influence on light tank design. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
