Description

The Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP) or Higgins boat was a landing craft used extensively in amphibious landings in World War II. The craft was designed by Andrew Higgins of Louisiana, United States, based on boats made for operating in swamps and marshes. More than 20,000 were built, by Higgins Industries and licensees.

Typically constructed from plywood, this shallow-draft, barge-like boat could ferry a platoon-sized complement of 36 men to shore at 9 knots (17 km/h). Men generally entered the boat by climbing down a cargo net hung from the side of their troop transport; they exited by charging down the boat's bow ramp.

Twee uitvoeringen mogelijk;

  • PA26-19 ,'Easy Red', Omaha Beach,Normandie 1944 D-DAY.
  • PA33-4 ,'Uncle Red', Utah Beach,Normandie 1944 D-DAY.
