FULLY LOADED, the cart is ready for action. The second MI-AI flame thrower has been secured to its alloted place in the cart. Two flame-guns in water-proof bags, complete the unit. All of the paraphernalia are given addtiional security by the regular straps of the machine-gun cart, pulled tightly over the equipment and buckled. August 1944 - Pavuvu, Russell Island

I just finished reading Bill O'Reilly's "Killing the Rising Sun"
Very informative history of WW2 in the Pacific.

One of the guys I rode with for several years towed one of those carts behind his custom trike!  We used it to haul gear and groceries on weekend trips.  It pulled great!!
