The M26 Dragon Wagon is an American military armored heavy truck from World War II. The first machines of this type entered service in 1941/1942 and remained in service until the 1950s. The car was powered by one Hall-Scott 440 engine with a capacity of 240 hp. The maximum speed reached 45 km/h. The machine's armament consisted of one 12.7-mm machine gun. The M26 Dragon Wagon was developed for the needs of the US Army, which, along with the development of its own armored vehicles, realized that it needed new trucks to transport damaged tanks or to transport them on the road more quickly. In addition, the new tractor was also supposed to have a slightly armored driver's cabin. The new machine was supposed to complement the M19 line, which entered service in 1940. The M26, compared to the M19, had a clearly more powerful engine, an armored driver's cabin, and could also carry much larger loads. M26 Dragon Wagon machines were used mainly in North-Western Europe in 1944-1945. They were replaced in the queue of M123 machines, starting from 1955.
