to provide a cataloging of all of the historical Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV), including tanks, APCs and self-propelled artillery, etc that are on preserved or otherwise displayed in museums or as monuments in the United States. As such the registry ranges from the World War I-era Skeleton Tank to modern M1 Abrams tanks. However, the registry is not intended to include modern AFVs that are still in service. Format The USA Historical AFV Register is organized by state and city or town as follows. STATE CITY OR TOWN Location (GPS Coordinates) AFV Model Man./User status Notes and/or location Man./User denotes the original manufacturer (country) and various users, using three letter country codes. Status is denoted by one of the following codes. ind = indoor display out = outdoor display std = stored (this can be either indoor our outdoor storage, but clearly not on display) wre = wreck (typically vehicles recovered from a target range or simply in very bad condition) Often, if there are a large number of AFVs on display in a particular town or military post, sub listings are also provided, organized by location - museum, building, road, etc. Many of the vehicles listed as “Unconfirmed” are from the “Central Registry” of donated vehicles maintained by the U.S. Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM). Many of these vehicles donated to American Legion and VFW Posts may actually be located in local parks. Additionally, many of the “Unconfirmed” World War II era vehicles – such as Sherman and Stuart tanks – have since been moved or may no longer exist. Additional information about a particular vehicle is often included in footnotes. Serial Numbers (SN) and Registration Numbers, aka “USA” numbers (RN) are given when available. Note that many M60 tanks have two SNs, the original one as built and an Anniston Army Depot (AAD) rebuild SN (which ends in an A) or a Mainz Army Depot (MAD) SN (which ends in an M). For British and Canadian WWII era vehicles, War Department (WD) Numbers are given when known, as are post-war Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRN) for British vehicles. 3 Sources The USA Historical AFV Register is compiled from a number of sources. Firstly, the register is an expansion of Leslie Delsing’s Wrecks and Relics in the USA tank registry, posted to the AFV News Discussion Board on 22 May 2006. The register has also been greatly expanded thanks to armyjunk2 and his copy of the TACOM Central Registry. Some of the other notable online sources include the Waymarking Military Ground Equipment Displays site, the former Tanks for the Memories geocaching site, The Sherman Register, Toadman’s Tank Pictures, Trevor Larkum's Preserved Tanks, Robert Buettner’s War Memorials of Wisconsin, and Don Moriarty's The History of the Ontos as well as forums and message groups such as the AFV News Discussion Board, G104 (the Sherman Register mailing list), G103 (dedicated to Stuart tanks), and G136 (dedicated to M8 Greyhound and M20 armored cars). Where possible, the origin of information on a particular vehicle is denoted in footnotes. A large number of individual contributors, many of which are credited throughout the registry, have provided invaluable information. Note All Serial Numbers,
