There’s a discussion of Tucker’s armoured car at [Com-Central.net › Community Forums › The Discussion Group for George Bradford's AFV News › AFV News Discussion Board › Armored tank does 114mph!](http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=10373), and I thought of you. There’s a link to a copy of a contemporary newspaper article.

I’ve seen the article before ([I just found out where Tucker got his idea for the car, too.](http://www.tuckerclub.org/bbs3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1385)), but the posters are wrong when they say that the turrent Tucker designed didn’t wind up on a plane. Tucker’s wiki page is _very_ closely monitored by the club’s historian, and everything on it is documented in the club’s archives. (I have some quibbles with some of the minor details in the Wiki article, but I’m not arsed enough to bother with hashing them out to get them all changed.)

Thanks for the heads up, though.
