Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1/4-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.
Download or read book Jeeps 1941–45 written by Steven J. Zaloga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The jeep was the most famous military vehicle of World War II, and its name has become synonymous with a whole class of military and civilian all-terrain vehicles. The jeep originated in a prewar US Army requirement for a simple, inexpensive, and robust vehicle for basic utility chores. Its simple design proved to be adaptable to a host of military tasks including use as a scout vehicle, battlefield ambulance, communications vehicle, and staff car. This book, covering “the savior of World War II”, focuses on the design and development of this versatile vehicle used on nearly every front of World War II.

Book Synopsis Through Mobility We Conquer by : George F. Hofmann
Download or read book Through Mobility We Conquer written by George F. Hofmann and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2006-07-03 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Cavalry, which began in the nineteenth century as little more than a mounted reconnaissance and harrying force, underwent intense growing pains with the rapid technological developments of the twentieth century. From its tentative beginnings during World War I, the eventual conversion of the traditional horse cavalry to a mechanized branch is arguably one of the greatest military transformations in history. Through Mobility We Conquer recounts the evolution and development of the U.S. Army's modern mechanized cavalry and the doctrine necessary to use it effectively. The book also explores the debates over how best to use cavalry and how these discussions evolved during the first half of the century. During World War I, the first cavalry theorist proposed combining arms coordination with a mechanized force as an answer to the stalemate on the Western Front. Hofmann brings the story through the next fifty years, when a new breed of cavalrymen became cold war warriors as the U.S. Constabulary was established as an occupation security-police force. Having reviewed thousands of official records and manuals, military journals, personal papers, memoirs, and oral histories -- many of which were only recently declassified -- George F. Hofmann now presents a detailed study of the doctrine, equipment, structure, organization, tactics, and strategy of U.S. mechanized cavalry during the changing international dynamics of the first half of the twentieth century. Illustrated with dozens of photographs, maps, and charts, Through Mobility We Conquer examines how technology revolutionized U.S. forces in the twentieth century and demonstrates how perhaps no other branch of the military underwent greater changes during this time than the cavalry.

Download or read book Warbaby written by William Spear and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete and fully detailed history of the conception, promotion, financing, design, fabrication, delivery, testing, procurement and production of the first jeeps by the American Bantam Car company for the United States Army. The 400 page book contains hundreds of photos which cover the prewar period when this most significant of American automobiles was created and produced. As much an exciting story of compelling characters as it is the first complete history, a reader will recognize many names in both the public and private which went on to fame in WWII. The book can also be seen as a near text book concerning the practical difficulties in industrial design and procurement, involving as it does the difficulty of innovators satisfying a customer with a design. A careful reader will see the dramatic transition from the ?old America? of the post Civil War era into what we like to call the ?modern times? of the post war era, just now ending. One will see the beginning of Eisenhower's ?Military-Industrial Complex'. Primarily however the book is an inspirational story of a small band of men in a tiny company, struggling for survival which accepts a gigantic challenge and succeeds brilliantly, only to be overwhelmed by the giant government and corporate interests of the time and since forgotten.
Book Synopsis Logistics in World War II, 1939–1943 by : John Norris
Download or read book Logistics in World War II, 1939–1943 written by John Norris and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Second World War with a focus on supply, transport, and other crucial operations—includes photos. Logistics, though less dramatic or glamorous than other aspects of war, nevertheless play a decisive role in the outcome of campaigns and battles. This book focuses on the role of logistics in World War II, marshaling some astounding facts and figures to convey the sheer scale of the task all belligerents faced to equip vast forces and supply them in the field. Military historian John Norris also draws on firsthand accounts to illustrate what this meant for the men and women in the logistics chain and those depending on it at the sharp end. Many of the vehicles, from supply trucks to pack mules, and other relevant hardware are discussed and illustrated with numerous photographs. Numerous topics are covered—for example, how Hitler’s panzer divisions were kept rolling in the Blitzkrieg (a German division in 1940 still had around five thousand horses, requiring hundreds of tons of fodder) and the British army’s disastrous loss of equipment at Dunkirk. This is a fascinating and valuable study of a neglected aspect of World War II.

Book Synopsis Trouble Shooting And Rebuilding The T-84J Transmission by : Robert Notman
Download or read book Trouble Shooting And Rebuilding The T-84J Transmission written by Robert Notman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you own a WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW "jeep"? Or are you interested in owning one someday? These vehicles are pushing well past 70 years old and will need maintenance and repair. At some point your T-84J transmission will need trouble shooting or rebuilding. The purpose of this book is twofold, to show just how "easy" it is to rebuild the T-84J transmission and to perhaps allow the novice to decide whether it is better to have it rebuilt by a pro. The process of recording the rebuilding of a T-84J transmission will hopefully help others who might want to rebuild their own. Assembling the T-84J is really not difficult. There are about 58 parts, so it isn't rocket science. It's just following the steps and asking for clarification when the steps aren't as clear as they could be. So follow along as we tear into a T-84J transmission...you can do it!
