Did any US aircraft carriers use towing vehicles such as this: en title on deck in WWll? Or was this only for Army Airforce bases?
Several types were used.
Willys MB Flight Deck Tractor
Clarktor 6 Flight Deck Tractor
Ford BNO-40 Flight Deck Tractor

Great! Thanks. I’ve got a couple of the Academy tugs and Navy aircraft and was wondering if they could go together (on deck, of course!).
Likewise! I wondered the same thing, so when I found those Life photos showing the different tugs on deck… just paint one navy gray and you’re in business.
