Historian Charles K. Hyde wrote: "In many respects, the jeep became the iconic vehicle of World War II, with an almost mythological reputation of toughness, durability, and versatility". Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe in World War II, wrote in his memoirs that most senior officers regarded it as one of the five pieces of equipment most vital to success in Africa and Europe. General George Marshal, Chief of Staff of the US Army during the war, called the vehicle "America's greatest contribution to modern warfare." (Credit to Wikipedia)
Willys turned the MB into the civilian Jeep CJ 2A in 1945, making the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive.
