The SAS Jeep, used by the British Special Air Service during World War II, was a modified Willys Jeep outfitted for desert warfare and deep penetration raids behind enemy lines. Typically armed with twin-mounted Vickers K machine guns, known for their high rate of fire, these jeeps were capable of delivering rapid suppressive fire against enemy personnel and vehicles. Modified with additional fuel tanks, stripped-down armor, and sand tires, the SAS jeeps were adapted for extended operations in harsh desert conditions. Used in daring raids against Axis airfields and supply lines, these jeeps played a key role in disrupting enemy logistics across North Africa Designed to meet a US Department of War requirement for a light, cross-country reconnaissance vehicle, the Willys MB Army Jeep was manufactured between 1941 and 1945. The Willys Jeep was the original version of what would later become one of the most iconic vehicles in American history, evolving into a popular civilian vehicle that is still being produced today. The Willys Jeep was a compact, four-wheel drive vehicle that rapidly became one of the most prolific vehicles of WWII. More than 640,000 standardized versions were produced, with 8,690 other versions built over a period of four years. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
