The DUKW, better known as the Duck, might not be as well-known as the Jeep but this amphibious truck was just as vital to winning the Second World War. Able to take supplies from ship to shore without needing a harbour it kept the fighting men supplied with bullets, bandages and bully beef.
This is the story of one such Duck and its crew of two. Together they got far closer to the action than you would expect for a floating lorry. Question was, would they be able to get away again in one piece?
