U.S. WILLY'S - OVERLAND JEEP

NORMANDY, 1944

The Forces of Valor... these are the men that fought the battles. They came from every nation and every creed to battle on their countries behalf. Today’s fighting forces are similar to those of the past. The makeup of men, now joined by women, remains basically the same. Acts of heroism, keen determination, and sheer willpower define today’s Forces of Valor…

Forces of Valor vehicles and aircraft feature true-to-life detail with lots to discover and explore… tank tracks that really roll along their independent suspension… hatches & access ports that reveal internal compartments… turrets & gun barrels that maneuver just like they did in battle… all these exacting details bring these combat proven machines to life!

In 1941, the US Army wanted to develop a small General Purpose (GP) 4 wheel drive vehicle to meet the pressing demand for tough and reliable vehicles with excellent cross-country capabilities. During World War II, the Willy's GP served rolls to prove a valuable tool in bringing then Allied victory. Transit for Soldiers, Light Firearms Carrier, Command Vehicle, Communication Platform, Liaison vehicle and even sometimes as an ambulance: the Willys GP became a cornerstone vehicle platform for the allied victory in World War II.
