Britain and France.
The infantrymen benefited most from tanks. Tanks and Artillery support the infantrymen.
French 75mm field guns; Renault model 1917 tanks; Spad 13 airplanes were the most popular and successful of allied guns, tanks, and planes.
Some books state 39,000, some say 49,000, and one source said 59,000 M-4's were built. The only known fact is that the M4 was the most produced US tank in US history. You'll find the same statistical accuracy problem with all or most tanks productions whatever the nation. The only accurate data you will find will be on warship construction. For example 275 Flush Deck destroyers (aka four pipers) were built (WWI era) and 175 Fletcher class destroyers (WWII era) were made. Both of those types of warships were the most ever produced in US history. Since they didn't go into the "thousands" (like tanks & planes) it appears that statistics for warships are far easier to keep track of and are, consequently, far more accurate. But historians, writers, and television (the history/military channel) do make errors; and the figures of 375 four piper destroyers and 125 Fletcher destroyers have been observed.
