In 1941, the British Army took the lead in the use of American 4x4 jeeps in combat operations in North Africa. They found that they were superior to the light vehicles previously in use and attracted the attention of the British Airborne Forces. Its power, light weight and small size make it ideal for a variety of roles and fits easily into a mid-sized airframe. Based on the role in the air, some non-essential items should be removed as much as possible to reduce the load. For reconnaissance, the jeep was equipped with a .303 Vickers K machine gun, which was previously installed on A biplane fighter of the 1930s could fire 1,200 rounds per minute. This was twice the firepower of conventional machine guns of that time. They are also equipped with radio equipment of the type #22, which is usually used on combat vehicles and tanks. The jeep can be placed in an Airspeed AS.51 or AS.58 Hosha airframe with a payload of 1 jeep including equipment, storage and crew. This type of jeep was used during the Normandy Invasion on 6 June 1944, Operation Market Garden in September 1944 and Operation Spoils of War in March 1945. And he completed the task perfectly. Jeeps are versatile and can be used for other purposes, such as asking to be used to tow weapons. Many jeeps remained from the Air Force. It was used to restore order in the Far East after the surrender of the Japanese after the war. It was used in Palestine for police operations in 1945-48. After the Second World War, gliders were withdrawn from production, and jeeps were "dropped" by parachutes and remained in service until the end of the 1950s.
