War Machines The U.S. Planned to Use On Japan

But its heavy 300 mm armour would have made it all but indestructible in the Japanese campaign. Tokyo surrendered before the roughly two-dozen T-28s that were ordered could roll off Pacific Car and Foundry assembly lines. In fact, only two models were finished by VJ day. One was dismantled shortly after Japan surrendered; the other was mothballed at a U.S. Army depot in the years after the war. It was restored in 1974 and is now on exhibit at Kentucky’s Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor.
