Brief history of the M24 Chaffee

The M24 Chaffee was developed as the successor to the M5 Stuart and entered service just at the end of World War II. This design became popular due to its mobility and reliability. However, it gained its greatest fame during the Korean War (1950-1953), when the M24 Chaffee was the primary light tank of the United States Army and UN allied forces. It took part in battles such as the defense of Pusan and the battle of Seoul.
