Description:

Built between 1919 and 1920, the MKVIII Heavy Tank was the first American-produced heavy tank, but its history doesn't stop there. Join Bob Foster as he explores the history of this tank's development from the trenches of Europe to Bridgeport, Connecticut to Rock Island Arsenal. Today, Rock Island Arsenal is home to one of only three remaining MKVIII Tanks.
