The G.M.C. 6x6 Two and a Half Ton D.U.K.W. 1942 D=1942 U=utility K=Front wheeled drive W= Two rear drive axles From the world war two bloody beaches of Anzio, D-Day and countless Pacific amphibious DUKW campaigns, the revolutionary military vehicle, the GMC 6x6 two and a half ton DUKW became a legend forged in fire and war. Once the guns fell silent, the engines of the DUKW did not, as they found new waters, in a new role in a career that would bring them right to our doorsteps. Unpublished archives now relate a fascinating story of courage and heroism on the coastline of Northern England, as the six wheeled amphibian, together with its crews of weather hardened Lifeguards, saved the lives of over 600 men, women and children over four decades. If that was not enough, the D.U.K.W. became a favourite with the public at large. SHE IS STILL PLUNGING INTO THE WAVES TODAY TAKE THEN A D.U.K.W. TO WATER!
