M29 Weasel

Le M29 Weasel est un véhicule automobile chenillé créé et utilisé par l'armée américaine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sa conception amphibie le prédestinait aux régions marécageuses.

Il fut utilisé par le Corps expéditionnaire français pendant la guerre d'Indochine et ses derniers exemplaires stockés à Madagascar.

Quelques uns de ces véhicules terminèrent leur carrière aux îles Kerguelen (Terres australes et antarctiques françaises) tandis qu'une version modernisée était construite en France sous le nom de castor et destinée aux expéditions polaires françaises (Missions Paul-Émile Victor). Ils sont affectés à la Terre Adélie.
