About the author.

When John bought his first Willys MB in1980 he was interested in the history of the vehicle but found that many records were destroyed after the war. Since then, John has compiled information about the Jeep, trawling through museum archives, tracking down lost files, talking to collectors and cross-referencing his findings with parts books. This unique 300-page book is the product of those thirty years of painstaking detective work.
