The M24 was an American light tank which appeared late in the Second World War due to a desire to produce a standard chassis as the basis of the "Light Combat Team". The M24 supplanted the M5 in late 1944 and became the standard light tank for the US Army for many years after.
Six of these were present at Dien Bien Phu in the climatic French defeat.
