Hasbro has not only brought to life a very detailed Willys Jeep but they also teach and inform us about its history. This desert tan colored Willys Jeep was used by elite British Army troops in World War II in the North Africa conflict.  This Jeep was modified by removal of all non-essential parts to increase its load capacity, outfitted with water-condensing units, strapped with extra fuel and water canisters and had several machine guns mounted on it.  The British used these stalwart Jeeps in raids on enemy airfields and destroyed hundreds of aircraft.  The terrain was harsh and barren, swept with desert sands but the Jeep proved to be strong and versatle. The Willys Jeep all-purpose military vehicle was used by every Allied army and became a symbol of endurance and determination.  Hasbro has done an excellent job of making this history come alive. Notice the extras they have added: movable twin guns, spare gas cans, water condenser, steering front wheels, removable ax and shovel, removable gas can and detailed dashboard.
