History of DUKW or DUCK Mobile:
DUKW was an amphibious vehicle, mounted with .50-cal machine gun, with speed of 60 mph on land and 6.4 mph in the water. At first, 1,500 DUKW vehicles were manufactured by GMC.
DUKW was actually used by the Marines in WWII from 1943 to 1945. It was said that DUKW proved its value through invasions and captures of Japanese strongholds in the Pacific like Marianas, Guam, Saipan, Iwojima and Okinawa and contributed to build immovable base for B-29 and delivery of the A-bombs. The ability of the DUKW had Russians made the ?BAV?, copy of DUKW. Once a hero of the wartime, DUKW is now reincarnated in Hawaii in peacetime. DUKW became DUCK and are carrying tourists instead of soldiers. Each DUCK can carry maximum of 30 passeners besides 1 driver (or captain).
