I found the details,
Landing on the coast of France under heavy Nazi machine gun fire are these American soldiers, shown just as they left the ramp of a Coast Guard landing boat.
Assault landing. One of the first waves at Omaha. The Coast Guard caption identifies the unit as Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. CG 2343

I think you are getting confused in your terminology. You don't steer those. You point them in the direction you want to go and twist the throttle. When you need to go in a different direction you stop, get your friends to help you turn it around, then go again.

Correct! Says on them "Coat Combat IECS". I wear it as a winter jacket it works slightly better then my commercial winter jacket (less bulk).
The Pouches are "MEC. 1952 /|\" and under "CNAA 0563". And the belt is "D (or N) & M LTD. 50 /|\" and in a different font to the right of the other stamps "/|\ ontop of "84". Bought them from Things Military.

With Claven on that one, love that little Carrier!
Would be great to have one just to stomp around in the bush... I would think they'd be great to haul out moose too. They don't float like an argo, but I suspect they'd have a wee bit more torque.
Plus it would just look badass doing it

A buddy of mine belonged to a hunt club up north in Ontario that used one of those for many years to get in and out to the cabin, and haul their harvest and gear. I understand it is sitting up there somewhere south of the French river, where it finally quit, quietly rusting tonight.762Russian said:With Claven on that one, love that little Carrier!
