An authoritative 100-year overview of the fascinating history of
the cargo/troop-carrying trucks, wreckers, tankers, ambulances,

standardized designs, missile transporters and amphibious vehicles,
as well as the impact and aftermath of the two world wars. A

vehicles in detail. The origins and development of each vehicle are
clearly described, and a specification panel gives key performance
and dimensional data. * The story of the development and production
