Transporting Jeeps via Plane

• CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine, Old Images • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The August 03, 1942, issue of Life Magazine has an article about Transport Planes. The article includes photos of some GPWs. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be wedged in there next to the jeep during a bumpy flight!

You can see the entire article at Google Books

There is a copy of this issue on eBay as well.

I don’t spend much time on Pinterest, but Marc shared a couple links to Pinterest sites with a variety of photos. Most we’ve seen, but there are a few interesting ones there, too.

Unusual Photo of Test Jeep

Roberto posted this interesting photo on Facebook that he found on ImageShack. Someone suggested this was a test photo from Aberdeen, but I haven’t seen any verification for it. The image looks like it might be from a video. Anyone recognize it?

Gary’s Jeep and Boat

Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.
