The M4 Sherman (and variants) was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. The type proved to be reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers. The U.S. produced 49,234 in many variants, with thousands distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union. Designers stressed mechanical reliability, ease of production and maintenance, durability, and standardization of parts and ammunition in a limited number of variants. The type served in all theaters during World War II. The British developed this variant of the M4 Sherman by fitting the powerful, long-barreled (L/55) 3-inch (76.2 mm) Ordnance Quick-Firing (QF) 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the 17-pounder in the war. It supported British, Commonwealth, and Polish forces during and after the Battle of Normandy and in Italy, where its gun could almost always penetrate the armour of Panther and Tiger tanks. British industry produced approximately 2,200 units, using M4, M4 Composite, and M4A4 Sherman variants.The Firefly also carried one .50 Browning M2 machine gun and one coaxial .30 Browning M1919 machine gun. A crew of five operated the vehicle, and it had a top speed of 19 mph. This unit represents all Firefly variants.
