Fuoristrada Willys MB e Ford GPW: libri - storia e modelli (2/2)

Bantam, Ford And Willys-1/4-Ton Reconnaissance Cars

The ¼-ton, 4x4, truck of World War Two started out in the hands of the Infantry and a little company called American Bantam Car Company. Bantam worked with the Army's Quartermaster Corps to produce the pilot model that was accepted and then fulfilled their initial contract for 70 trucks.
During testing of the pilot both Ford and Willys-Overland were invited to check out this new vehicle. The vehicles were studied in great detail. Soon, at their own expense, Ford and Willys-Overland submitted pilots for testing too.

This book covers the production prototypes - Bantam BRC-40, Ford GP and the Willys MA.

Jeep militaires - depuis 1940 (Willys MB, Ford GPW et Hotchkiss M201)

Despite its frequent association with the American Willys-Overland company, the Jeep was actually designed by a team working for American Bantam in response to a request from the US Quartermaster Corps in 1940. Faced with the machinations of very strong political opposition, Bantam lost the market to Willys-Overland and Ford, who ended up producing around 640 000 examples of what is probably still the most recognizable vehicle in the world, while Hotchkiss produced in France, well after the war, another 28 000 Jeeps.

During World War II, the Jeep accompanied all the Allied armies on all fronts and the military on both sides recognized its qualities as a reliable and versatile vehicle.
After the end of the war, thousands of Jeeps were allocated to the armies of the recently liberated European countries. Others were "civilized", but little by little these vehicles began to pass into the hands of collectors.
