Historical background of the American Bantam Reconnaissance Car

The American Bantam Reconnaissance Car was the first American light reconnaissance vehicle, designed in 1940 in response to the needs of the U.S. Army before the United States entered World War II. Although only about 2,700 units were produced by the American Bantam Car Company, the design proved revolutionary and served as the basis for the legendary Willys MB and Ford GPW. The vehicle was widely used especially in the early years of World War II (1940–1942) by the American army. The Bantam took part in reconnaissance missions and was used by infantry units and other Allies.
