Description

By: Graham Scott .

Two generations ago Spitfires and Messerschmitts were dogfighting in the Battle of Britain. At the same time on the other side of the Atlantic, the Jeep was conceived as an innovative lightweight military vehicle intended to carry men and supplies cross-country.
A legend was born.

The Jeep proved its mettle many times over during the Second World War and lives on today as the vehicle that, deep down, has inspired the modern 4x4 obsession.

Graham Scott tells how this extraordinary and trend-setting vehicle came into being. There is a detailed account of its design and development and the rigorous specification targets it had to meet. He perceptively analyses the war-time Jeep's many strengths (as well as its occasional shortcomings), describes the differences between the versions built by Bantam, Willy?s and Ford, and supplies specifications and production figures.

The numerous variations on the theme - from adaptations for rail use to the sea-going 'Seep' - receive a special chapter.

All this is 'Essential' information for the enthusiast, whether newly interested or more knowledgeable.
