The DUKW, often referred to as the "Duck," served as an amphibious transport used by the United States Army during WWII. Rooted in the GM truck design, it featured a drivetrain that allowed seamless transition between land and water, with a prominent flat bow to aid movement in water.
Widely used in various military operations, its dual functionality made it an invaluable asset. Post-WWII, the DUKW found roles in other conflicts and even civilian uses like maritime tourism and rescue operations. Regarded as an emblematic wartime vehicle, examples remain preserved as museum pieces and in military re-enactments.
