Italian softskin cross country performance

[David Wormell]

Hi does any one know of any books/websites that list the cross country or off road speeds and range of Italian soft skinned vehicles of WWII. Specifically those used in A.S.?

Kind regards,
David.

While on my shopping list, I haven't bought Gli autoveicoli tattici e logistici del Regio Esercito Italiano fino al 1943 or any other books on transport. The new book Luck was Lacking has some data, but it is inconsistent and if there, it is only cross-country range. A quick look at La Logistica Militare dell’Esercito Italiano doesn't offer that information.

Pista! Jeff

David,
The below book has a chapter on Italian ‘Tractors’ for pulling artillery. Some of them look like trucks and are soft skinned. The book has the info that you after although I am not sure that you referring to these types of vehicles. These are not designed to carry infantry. Let me know if you want me to post details of them on this thread.
