History of the DUKW Vehicle

The DUKW, commonly known as the “Duck,” was an American six-wheeled amphibious vehicle developed during World War II and used by the United States Army and its allies. It served mainly to transport equipment, soldiers, and supplies from ships directly to unprepared beaches and through challenging terrain such as rivers and swamps. The most famous uses of the DUKW took place during the Normandy landings in June 1944 and the campaign in southern France. After the war, DUKWs were also operated in many countries worldwide, such as the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union, both for military and civilian purposes.
