Model D Tournapull with Model Q Carryall
Photograph of a Model-D Tournapull attached to the Carryall Model Q. According to information found online (https://contract295dev.wpenginepowered.com/classic-machines/model-d-tournapull/), the company built this combination, an "air transportable earthmover," for the U.S. Army from 1942-1946, during World War II. From 1942 to 1946, LeTourneau built over 600 of these machines and continued production after the war. This photograph was clearly meant for a brochure or catalog, since the background has been eliminated.
