US tanks in WW2 and since are named after American generals. The M4 Sherman was the most prevalent. The M3 Lee (also made in a British Army version called the Grant) and M3 Stuart preceded the Sherman. The M26 Pershing and M24 Chaffee were used only in the last days of the war. The M36 Jackson is often referred to as a tank, but it was US armored anti-tank artillery (tank destroyer). * The only exception is perhaps the M22 Locust airborne tank, never used in combat by the US, but the British 6th Airborne Division used them along with their own airborne tank called the Tetrarch. Both of these small tanks could be carried in a combat-ready state by the British Hamilcar glider.
