1944 Clark CA-1 Airborne Bulldozer
Part of the airborne engineer equipment set, this small crawler was developed for the US Army during World War II to fulfill a requirement for construction equipment that could be transported on a C-47 Skytrain aircraft or a CG-4A glider.
Powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, the CA-1 tractor has a hydraulically operated 5-foot-wide blade to move earth and a winch to drag equipment into place or to extract itself if it became stuck.
The Airborne Engineer set included compact rubber-tired tractors, road grader, pan scrapers, and trailers.
