The M24 Chaffee (named for Gen. Adna Chaffee, the "Father of the U.S.
Armored Force") was outfitted with an anti-aircraft turret. At least
two of these units saw action at the Battle of the Bulge. The Chaffee
carried a 75mm gun, which was not strong enough to penetrate the armor
of German Panther tanks.
