M-24 Chaffee.. light tank with a 75mm gun...at the time, (Summer 1944) the most heavilly armed light tank in the world. 5 Man crew and awkwardly, the turret crew positions were reversed with the TC and gunner on the left and loader on the right. Also had them in korea where they were totally useless against the T-34. It was a fast tank and easy to handle, but lacked in firepower.
