Can't recall whether it was Ike, Patton or Marshall who said it, but one of them said the three most critical weapons that won WWII were the Jeep, the M1 Garand, and the DC-3.



Patton said the M1 was the best battle implement ever devised.

Eisenhower said the 4 most important pieces of equipment were the bulldozer, jeep, 2.5 ton truck and c47. all logistics related.

That's what I get from going by memory! At least the C47=DC-3. I should get partial credit on the test.
