描述
FWD Model B Pom-Pom variant was an early armored vehicle based on the American FWD Model B 4x4 truck. It was modified by British forces during World War I to mount a QF 1-pounder Pom-Pom autocannon.

The vehicle featured a lightly armored body with an open-topped fighting compartment. Armor thickness ranged from 6 to 10 mm. The main armament, the QF 1-pounder (37 mm), had a rate of fire of up to 200 rounds per minute and could penetrate approximately 15 to 17 mm of armor at 100 meters. Its effective range against ground targets was around 1000 meters.

This version of the FWD Model B was used in limited numbers, mainly for colonial duties and experimental roles. It served as one of the earliest attempts at a self-propelled anti-aircraft and anti-light vehicle platform.

Although not widely deployed, the vehicle helped lay the foundation for future mobile gun platforms in the interwar period.
