Dragon wagon photos from 1944

Post by Kees51 »

Because of my dragon wagon webpage, I was contacted by Sal Spagnolo. His father Joe drove dragon wagons in 1944. Joe made a lot of photos during those days and Sal scanned them and sent them to me. They are online at

This is a rare chance to see real photos taken by the men in the field, without any censor filtering.

Hoi Keys
Thanks for sharing the photos. Joe would have been the big kid on the block, showing up driving that thing. I thought I always wanted one until I had a good look at the one at Army Cars Holland. What a monster they are.
Met vriendelijk groeten,
