| - Flame Thrower Tank M67 (also known as M67 "Zippo", nicknamed after a popular brand of cigarette lighter) is a postwar medium flame tank that was designed in the United States. It was designed in the years 1952—1954 on the M48 tank chassis, at the initiative of the US Marine Corps. During the production, which lasted from 1955 to (according to various sources) 1956 or 1959, 109 M67 tanks were produced for the Marine Corps and US Army. The US Army used the M67 on a small scale and relatively quickly brought these machines out of service in favor of the lighter flame thrower tanks (mechanized flamethrowers) M132. In the Marine Corps M67 were modernized in the early 1960s, and were actively used during the Vietnam War. M67 tanks were finally removed from service in the years 1972—1974, after the withdrawal of the Marine Corps from Vietnam.
