What is the JEEP WILLY'S?
The Willys MB, better known by its nickname "Jeep", is a light off-road vehicle designed in 1940 and produced in 1941 to US Army specifications.
The Willys MB is almost identical to the Ford GPW and was manufactured from 1941 until 1945. It is considered one of the emblems of the Second World War. After the war, the Willys MB evolved into the Jeep CJ, "CJ" for an abbreviation of "Civilian Jeep", and was recognised as a symbol of adventure.
The white five-pointed star would be the national symbol for all vehicles assigned to tactical units.
At the request of the airmen, the white circle and star painted on the bonnet were prescribed for all troops operating in North Africa, as the star could be mistaken for the white cross used on some German vehicles when viewed from a certain height.
