Description
The Jeep made its first appearance in 1940 and quickly proved itself to be rugged and reliable, with a unique go-anywhere ability. During the war years, Willys and Ford produced a total of more than half-a-million Jeeps and by the time the war was over, the Jeep had proved itself in every major theatre. This latest publication in Kelsey’s ‘Military Vehicles Archive’ series tells the story of the military Jeep, describing the development of prototypes and pre-production vehicles by American Bantam, Willys-Overland, and the Ford Motor Company, and describing the vehicle in detail.
