International Harvester (IH) built this crash truck in their Springfield, OH, plant as a 1½ ton 6x6 M3-4 military truck chassis. When delivered to the U.S. Navy, it was given the military designation FFN-3. It's fitted with Bean Company body, firefighting apparatus, and accessories specific to operating aircraft crashes at military airfields and bases.
Only a few International Harvester M9A1 Halftracks were made during the war and virtually all were shipped to Allied Nations. Having this unique surviving example is a great opportunity to preserve history and honor our Allied partners.
