World War Two Landing Craft
Episode 6 of 6
Sailor and writer Tom Cunliffe puts an LCVP through its paces and finds out how it did more to win World War II than any other piece of machinery.
Looking more like a skip than a boat, the LCVP, or Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel, won't win any prizes for beauty. Yet the craft did more to win World War II than any other piece of machinery. There were once over 20,000 of these little boats, but only a handful remain. Sailor and writer Tom Cunliffe puts one of them through its paces and finds out how the boat was developed for one momentous day in 1944.
