Restored vehicle on a test drive

On August 11th the DUKW, which had been parked in the Great Hall since at least ‘98 or ‘99, moves! Here the DUKW sees the light of day for the first time in nearly 10 years. The DUKW drove under its own power down Gen. Mabry Drive to its temporary home in Building 26 for restoration.
