Bantam Car Company was the initial winner but couldn’t meet demand so the job went to Willys-Overland Motors. Willys was to take the best design features of the three submitted tenders and build a standardized vehicle. Eventually in order to meet an even greater demand the Ford Motors Company was asked to build a similar vehicle. During World War II there was a total of 647,870 Jeeps produced by the three companies; Willys-Overland produced 362,841 of them. The 101st Airborne Division was activated on 16 August 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. Eventually moved to England and continued training until D-day, June 6, 1944.
