The T/O&E is what they are authorized period. So it would be drawn from war stock in theatre or shipped over in boats. But they would of had this in Europe.
Now per T/O&E.
Bucket: Canvas Water 18qt----------- 1 per truck! That's alot of buckets!
The 5 passenger sedan would of belonged to the Divison HQ. and would of stayed in England.
The 4 crawler tractors were Clark Air's belonging to the 307th Engr Bn. with the 4 tipper 2 1/2 tons and 1 cargo 2 1/2 ton truck. But they did have larger dozers as I have pictures of them from the museum.
Most of the 82nds "heavies" Stuff too big to fit in a glider: came in D+3 on the beach this included the 4 ton Wrecker.
I have access to the manifests of all the gliders with tail numbers and cargo. Just not here and way to big a file to be sent to me via email. But there were alot of jeeps/trailers/howitzers and AT guns inserted by glider.
This report also has the After Action repots with what gliders were damaged, recovered, destroyed and casualties by tail number. Neat to read and I can remember only a couple gliders were a total loss during the invasion for the 82nd. Your chances were very good if you were a glider rider of getting on the ground intact by this report.
Not sure what kind/make the airplane was at this moment.
And thanks to Jimmie at the 82nd War Memorial Museum for emailing me the T/O&E.
