These USMC trucks could be International M-3L-4 model. (4x4, 1 1/2-ton, with tipper body)
Two trucks in front have two single .30-Cal Browning MMGs each, one at the back twin .50-Cal Browning HMG.

Spot on, my friend and over to you. The photo was said to be taken in Iceland but I think maybe Hawaii in the 1940 period.

Something unusual - not a Harley or Indian - but still very famous name behind it!
(BTW - Design as a whole failed to be accepted by US Army; some details were later used in other products.)

Hi Edge:
Your trike is a Delco/GM from 1939. According to Vanderveen's Army Vehicles Directory to 1940, only two were made and the bike was not put into production.

Re: The official AHF USA quiz thread
Yes, this is the only example of GM making a motorcycle – photo from „U.S. Military Wheeled Vehicles“ by Fred W. Crimson (that I recently downloaded )
Motorcycle celebrity Rod Coates was involved in its design:
In 1940, he began working for the Delco division of General Motors, where he helped develop an experimental motorcycle for military use. Several features of the motorcycle, including a headlight nacelle, rear enclosure and telescopic forks, were later incorporated into standard Triumph designs. http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloff ... asp?id=403
Over to Georgia!

Re: The official AHF USA quiz thread
Thank you Edge:
One of my many New Years Resolutions is to stay with what I know best and not get too clever about trying to find exotic subjects to post on this thread and others on the many Forums I belong to.
So, here is a photo to think about.
