[Milsurplus] TBX in KW

[Ray Fantini]

That picture presents several problems, not the least being that I thought the TBX was only used early to mid war in the pacific and later versions like the TBX-8 were never fielded in combat.  I have owned and operated a couple TBX sets, think a 4 and 6 and know from first hand use and from reading about there use at Tarawa that they are underpowered, require a crew to operate and were way outdated by 42/43 so have to wonder why the Marines would use one in Korea? Then again we are talking about the Marines and they have never been known for technology.

Photo of marines using TBX in some city, Korean War.
I did NOT buy the photo because if you buy it, you have no rights except to
look at the photo.
