Jeep Parked at the Supply Depot

The open-top jeep fills most of the page, showing its flat hood, round headlights, a grille with tall vertical slots and a folding windshield with two wipers. Through the glass you can see the steering wheel, and the front bumper runs straight across the bottom of the vehicle. The chunky tires have deep, blocky tread for rough ground. Behind the jeep stands a plank warehouse with its big doors open, revealing boxes stacked on shelves inside. Two cross-braced wooden crates wait beside the building, and a flag flutters on a tall pole on the left.

The Jeep That Went to War

The small four-wheel-drive jeep was designed for the U.S. Army at the start of the Second World War. The American Bantam company built the first prototype in 1940, and the vehicle was then mass-produced by Willys-Overland as the Willys MB and by Ford as the GPW. More than 600,000 of these quarter-ton trucks were made during the war, carrying soldiers, radios and supplies across mud, sand and snow. Nobody knows for sure where the name came from; one popular theory links it to the letters G.P., short for general purpose.

The wartime Willys MB wore a grille with nine vertical slots. After the war, civilian Jeep models switched to seven slots, and that seven-slot grille is still the brand's signature today.

Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are military jeeps often painted olive green?
Olive drab blends in with grass, trees and mud, making vehicles harder to spot from a distance, and it was the standard color of U.S. Army vehicles during the Second World War.
What does four-wheel drive mean?
The engine turns all four wheels instead of only two, which gives a vehicle better grip on mud, sand, snow and steep tracks.
What is kept in a military supply warehouse?
Warehouses hold food rations, spare parts, tools, uniforms and other equipment, usually packed in marked crates so they can be loaded quickly.
