Historical Background:

The Clarktor-6 was a small but powerful aircraft tug produced by the Clark Equipment Company. It played an essential role in WWII logistics, responsible for towing fighters and bombers as well as munitions and ground equipment. The combination of a Clarktor with two bomb trailers reflects the typical sight at forward airbases where ordnance was prepared and loaded for sortie missions. These tugs served with the USAAF, Navy, and RAF across multiple theatres. Compact, rugged, and easily maintained, the Clarktor remained in service well beyond the war, becoming a staple of military and civilian aviation operations alike.
