Tangent: this article contains the claim regarding DUKWs on D-Day: "Only one boat made it to the beach—the rest sank, taking soldiers and supplies with them." From what I can find this seems to be highly inaccurate and while there were some sinkings, DUKW boats at D-Day seem to be generally considered to be successful. This error is egregious enough to call the author's overall trustworthiness into question for me.
