LIMITED EDITION!!
During the "60's" the safe and fast transport of heavy and highly
sensitive loads took on a new meaning for the US Army. Suitable
transport systems had to be procured for the new short and medium range
missile systems. The powerful1 80bhp Kenworth Tractor was mated to a
Fruehauf trailer. Special transportation cushions provided a secure
hold for individual components. Honest John was a short range Free
Flight Rocket with a range of 48 Kilometre's. In all, a total of 7089
Honest John MGR-1B' were produced. The weapons system was deployed
until 1982. The German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) were also equipped
with 11 Honest John Batteries.
