April 1942 — Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A stranded Coast Guard boat, a falling tide, and an experimental machine that looked like a joke — until it saved everyone on board. What Harold Mattingly witnessed that day wasn’t just a rescue. It was the first successful test of the DUKW amphibious truck, a vehicle that would soon define Allied landings across Europe and the Pacific.
Built by three civilian engineers who refused to believe “it can’t be done,” the DUKW could drive straight from ship to shore without stopping — no docks, no ports, no waiting. By 1945, over 21,000 DUKWs turned impossible beach landings into victories.
Discover how this strange, brilliant invention became one of World War II’s most ingenious engineering triumphs — and changed the future of amphibious warfare forever.
