During WWII the German plant of International Harvester built a Wood Gas

Assuming they filled the plane for a gas plant on the ground ?
The F12 was the small IHC Farmall tractor. The Farmall was introduced
in 1924 and renamed the regular when the F30 came out followed by the
F20 and the f12 in 1932. In 1938 the F12 was replaced by the F14.
All were replaced by the M. H, and the A in 1939 but the German plant
continued to build the F12 until the the end of the war.
