EDITORS COMMENTS
DuKW Powered Ferry on the Great Chindwin River, Burma - Circa 1945 During the 2nd World War, the DuKW, popularly known as the "Duck," was a six-wheel-drive amphibious truck designed by General Motors Corporation for transporting goods and troops over land and water. This historic photograph captures a DuKW ferry in operation on the Great Chindwin River in Burma, circa 1945. The DuKW was an essential asset during the South East Asia campaign of WWII, particularly in the amphibious attacks on beaches. Its unique design allowed it to traverse both land and water, making it an invaluable tool for the Allied forces in their advance through Burma. In this image, we see a DuKW ferry transporting soldiers and troops across the Chindwin River. The rugged terrain and challenging water conditions of the river are evident, making the DuKW's versatility and capability all the more impressive. The troops appear focused and determined, ready to continue their campaign against the Japanese forces. The DuKW's impact on the war effort in Burma cannot be overstated. Its ability to transport troops and goods over difficult terrain and across rivers allowed the Allied forces to make significant gains against the Japanese. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the engineers and soldiers who designed and operated these remarkable vehicles during WWII. The Great Chindwin River, which flows through central Burma, was a major obstacle for the Allied forces during their campaign in Burma. The DuKW's amphibious capabilities allowed them to bypass the river's challenges and continue their advance towards their objectives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the DuKW and the vital role it played in the Allied forces' victory in Burma during WWII.
