1938 US Army

My 1938 US Army is actually two different but overlapping armies.  Armored cars support advancing infantry.

It is a War of the Worlds army that includes armored cars like the one above that are not based on actual historic vehicles, but are toys from the period, or are other toys that represent vehicles that are speculative, that is fictional, that have been built in the period, but were not actually built, or even seriously proposed.

The magazines the Electrical Experimenter and Popular Science and others often had military related articles that proposed fantastical weapons, vehicles and equipment that may have been possible but usually impractical and sometimes even impossible or useless.

The other 1938 US Army represents a real US Army organization with actual vehicles, troops, equipment, weapons that were used in training, some of which went on to be used in WWII, although often in slightly different versions.

Usually I combine these two armies, especially since the WOTW army is not really intended to be complete, but rather a supplement to the actual existing 1938 US Army.  Some like the little trucks above towing French 75s in their 1938 configuration without gunshield and with pneumatic tires, are trucks from the general era but may not be exactly like those of the US Army.
