High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The M3 Stuart, formally Light Tank M3, was an American light tank of World War II. The M3 Stuarts were the first "American manned (US) tanks in WWII" to engage the enemy in tank versus tank combat. M3s were supplied to British and Commonwealth forces under lend-lease prior to the entry of the USA into the war, and used thereafter by US and Allied forces until the end of the war. The name General Stuart or Stuart given by the British comes from the American Civil War Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart and was used for both the M3 and the derivative M5 Light Tank; in British service it also had the unofficial nickname of Honey; named when a tank driver remarked "She's a honey". To the United States Army the tanks were officially known only as "Light Tank M3" and "Light Tank M5".
