The Original Jeeps - Commemorating the Birth of an Icon 1940-1941

Amidst World War II's blitzkrieg in Europe, the US Army sought to replace motorcycles and mules, birthing the iconic Jeep in 1940. In "The Original Jeeps," Paul R. Bruno celebrates the 80th anniversary of this pivotal vehicle, highlighting the creation of the first three models.

The American Bantam Car Company, aided by the Army, crafted the initial prototype in a remarkable 49 days, passing rigorous tests. Willys-Overland Motors and Ford Motor Company followed suit, refining designs for optimal battlefield performance.

Though Bantam was unaware of the competition, their collaboration with Spicer Company pioneered 4x4 technology, shaping modern vehicles. Willys and Ford, partnering with Spicer, added their innovations.

These efforts produced a versatile vehicle crucial to Allied victory - a rugged weapon carrier and agile off-road battler. The Jeep's legacy endures, a testament to its enduring utility in military and civilian realms.

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.

Covering the history of the development and evolution of this iconic military vehicle (Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201), this book is an in-depth examination of everything needed to discover, purchase, restore and operate a military Jeep, seventy years after the first prototype was delivered to the US Army in July 1940.

French edition of Haynes' book "Military Jeep Enthusiasts' manual".
