Collection Name	Cecil H. Kornegay Photograph Collection, 1946-1948
Identifier	UAF-1999-204-39
Title	Amphibious jeep.
Description	Title taken from creator's notes . Photograph of an amphibious jeep with a 75mm recoiless rifle mounted on the back on parade at the 1947 Fairbanks Winter Carnival Notes and captions are from Cecil H. Kornegay 7-5-2000 . A correction has been submitted from researcher Scott Taylor and confirmed by Digital Archives Staff . Mr. Taylor states: "The vehicle shown is not a Ford GPA amphibious jeep, but rather a Studebaker M29 Weasel fully-tracked amphibious vehicle. These vehicles were originally designed for special operations in Norway, and their very low ground pressure gave them great mobility over snow (which I would assume is one of the reasons this vehicle would be in Alaska postwar). The easiest way (but not the only way) to identify this vehicle as a Weasel is by the instrument panel to the right of the driver - the amphibious jeep had a conventional instrument panel in front of the driver and a passenger seat beside the driver's seat."
