Summary

Description
English: The Howie (-Wiley) Machine-Gun carrier, a 1937 United States Army prototype for a very low-profile, nimble scout car and front-line mobile machine gun carrying platform. It was also nicknamed the "Belly-Flopper", because it was designed to be operated by a crew of two, lying prone, flat, facing forward.
