The US Army's Willys MB Jeep served throughout World War II with many of the Allied forces when it was deployed as a light 4x4 cross-country vehicle. Iit is suitably camouflaged for the deserts of North Africa in 1943. Decorated in a sandy body colour with dark beige seats, its US Army numbering is printed on the sides of the bonnet and across the rear in black. The Allied five-pointed star is enclosed in a pale blue circle and also appears on the bonnet. It features in a smaller size behind the rear wheels and on the rear tailgate, alongside the spare wheel. To complete the model, a set of equipment including a long handled spade is fixed below the driver's door. No doubt essential if you are crossing the desert.
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.
