Maybe, but if the stories that are circulating around our MV scene
are correct then the attention to detail and usage of correct vehicles
was the first thing that got axed. There are a couple of Buffalo
(LVT 4 Amtraks) in working order out here that could have been
included. Without vehicles such as these and Ducks any story based
on the Pacific Islands campaign of WW2 would be pretty thin.

Does anyone know what the final line up of vehicles was for the
movie?

Doug
