Camions Dodge : beaux livres - histoire et modèles

Dodge, sur les voies de la liberté

Au lendemain de Pearl Harbour, l'industrie d'outre-Atlantique mobilise toutes ses forces pour se consacrer à la seule production de guerre. Chrysler, un des trois grands constructeurs automobiles, s'engage alors résolument dans de nombreux programmes d'armement : blindés, munitions, pièces d'artillerie, moteurs d'avions sortent massivement des usines du groupe.

Mais c'est surtout dans la gamme des véhicules tactiques légers que Chrysler va, à travers sa filiale Dodge et avec sa camionnette 4x4 de 750 kg, manifester tout son savoir-faire. Dénommé Weapons Carrier, le véhicule bénéficie de l'expérience acquise depuis 1939 avec des camionnettes régulièrement améliorées tant au niveau de la mécanique et des performances que de la silhouette générale.

Le Weapons Carrier s'est décliné dans de multiples versions - transport de personnel, sanitaire, radio, véhicule de commandement - et a été livré largement à l'US Army, mais aussi aux Alliés, britanniques, soviétiques ou français libres.
Robustes et fiables, les camionnettes Dodge ont continué à servir bien après le conflit, dans de nombreuses armées occidentales comme dans le secteur civil où, après leur réforme, elles ont poursuivi une nouvelle et longue carrière.
