King & Country D-Day catalog reference
DD279B FURY by K&C Released in 2014, the film "FURY" details the exploits of a Sherman 'Easy Eight' tank crew during the final months of WW2.Although actor, Brad Pitt, was the nominal star of the movie for many WW2 enthusiasts the real 'star' of the film was a vintage M4A3 'Easy Eight' Sherman.The tank itself was actually built in March 1945 at the Fisher Tank Arsenal in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Because it was completed near the end of European combat it never actually saw action during the war.Post-War it is believed to be one of only five 'Easy Eight' Shermans sent to the British Army who at one point passed it on to the Canadian Forces. Eventually it ended up back at the Royal Military College of Science before being donated to The Tank Museum at Bovingdon UK in 1985 where it was maintained in full running order and used for live public demonstrations for many years.In 2013, film director David Ayer was looking for a particular Sherman to 'star' in his new WW2 movie and sought the help of The Tank Museum.Although a number of other Shermans were also used in the film it was this unique M4 that stole the show and also inspired our King & Country 'FURY' which was originally released in 2016 and retired in 2021.Well, here it is, again back by popular demand and looking better than ever in all its glory. So, if you are one those many collectors who have been furiously searching for a 'FURY', search no more...
