I had someone send me this link on a visit to the Littlefield Tank Collection. This may be the same guy the History Channel had a special on last year. Who ever owns it they must be made out of money! Enjoy http://home.comcast.net/~szee1a/tanks/tanks.html

Thanks for the link. I've been going through some of his other work and another one of his albums has a great collection of WWII Warbirds along with many shots of WWII tanks and soldiers.

If you love WWII Warbirds check out the Travis album too. After looking at a lot of his plane shots all I can say is WOW!

When I interviewed for my current job, the company CEO asked me about my hobbies and I mentioned MV's turns out he knew this guy and had been out that summer to a "tank shoot" he held somewhere in CA. Small world, sorry to hear of his passing he seems to be unique.

Those are some awesome photos! He sure went all-out in his restorations, the attention to detail is quite amazing!

God speed, Mr. Littlefield...

I'm sorry to hear about Jacques Littlefield's death. Our hobby has lost a great member. I sold a vehicle to his museum a few years ago and had the privilege of touring the facility. It would be the envy of any MV restorer.

Jacques was a true gentleman and responsible for saving many rare historic military vehicles. Deepest condolences to his family and the museum staff.
