The Willys Jeep was produced at the request of the United States military to satisfy a need for a cross-country reconnaissance vehicle during World War II. Working from a Bantam Car Company design, the Willys-Overland automotive manufacturer was contracted to build the Willys Jeep for the war and produced over 360,000 vehicles by 1945. The Willys Jeep was the first light-duty off-road 4-wheel drive vehicle and became one of the most useful vehicles during the war.
Came right on time and looked just right. It is a gift for a middle-aged man so time will tell if he likes it.

Perfect
Great model. Best thing is that they have been in production since WWII.
Now a Jeep owner can expect toy ducks to appear on their Jeep from a stranger as a symbol of Jeep Friendship 😀

During the early 80s, my brother and I spent one week “volunteering” (doing maintenance work at the Protestant church) in Kalaupapa. We had no idea at that time that this would prove to be one of life’s most meaningful experiences, providing us with so much more than we could possibly return. I happened upon this beautiful book by searching for the obituary of a resident who became a friend, and discovered he was featured here. In addition to being an accurate portrayal of a controversial history, this book contains personal accounts of the lives of many residents (some of whom we were privileged to meet and spend time) shared through thoughtful interviews and stunning photographs. Words cannot adequately express my humble gratitude for this important work. Mahalo to the authors for shining a brilliant beam of light on the resilient and incredibly generous people of Kalaupapa.
We saw the puzzle in the store at Pearl Harbor, but didn't want to have to keep up with it or try to fit it in our suitcases, so we ordered it online. It beat us home! Can't wait to put it together.
This is our second purchase, it was raised over the USS Arizona in honor of a family member that served in WWII. It will fly over the farmstead where he raised his family.
