Back in early days of the requirements for a four wheel drive vehicle, before the big war....many plans had been submitted. In the end, Bantam,Ford and Willys were tested...Willys came thru and was accepted...Ford was also into the act, under license and both companies went into production, making one of the best known combat seasoned vehicles of the War, The Jeep.This book gives a run down on the design and planning of the Jeep....right up to 1945...It is a worthy book, well illustrated and deserves a place on the coffee table!
