for Willys MB information. \u00a0For years information on the Willys MB jeep has been speculation, opinion, contemporary legend or just plain &#8220;wrong&#8221;. \u00a0These books use original factory documents and countless never before available photos to reveal the true facts of the Willys MB production. \u00a0You will find very little speculation, guesswork and opinion here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">This 5 volume set will not be a casual reading experience. \u00a0These books are not service manuals and there are no restoration tips here (except production facts!) \u00a0This set is more accurately compared to an encyclopedia. \u00a0It will take the average reader years to absorb all the information in these books. \u00a0The pictures alone are worth the price of the books. \u00a0These pictures will take you back to the days of production like you were there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Why buy these books when all this information is already available on the internet? \u00a0This information is not on the internet. \u00a0Most of the pictures in this 5 volume set have never been found on the internet. \u00a0The detailed information in these books that has been sourced from original factory documents actually proves previous speculation on the internet to be wrong. \u00a0To date, this is (in my opinion) the most detailed and accurate Willys MB production information available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Why are these books so expensive. \u00a0First of all they really are not expensive. \u00a0Have you purchased a college text book lately? \u00a0These books are of the best quality paper and printing available. \u00a0These books are printed in the USA and no quality was compromised in the printing process. \u00a0Volume 2 alone is 734 pages and weighs over 5 pounds. \u00a0 If you consider the costly mistakes that can be made in purchasing an MB or restoring one incorrectly, this 5 volume set is a bargain. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">About the Authors. \u00a0The editor and primary author of this 5 volume series is Lloyd White. \u00a0Lloyd White first became interested in WWII jeeps in 1960 when he purchased his first jeep, a 1945 Willys MB. \u00a0For over 30 years Lloyd has been collecting photographs and documents related to the MB production. \u00a0These documents and photos have been sourced from National Archives and military facilities not from the internet. \u00a0Lloyds knowledge and research materials (not opinion) have allowed him to be a regular contributor to the MVPA&#8217;s magazine, <em>Army Motors, <\/em>for over 25 years. \u00a0It is Lloyds research and photo collection that makes up the foundation of this 5 volume set. \u00a0Thank you Lloyd for compiling this information for all classic military vehicle enthusiasts. \u00a0This information will also serve as a source of information on the Willys MB for generations to come. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Other contributing authors include Fred Coldwell, Eric Booth, Michael Cecil, Peter Ferris, Mark Tombleson, Frank Steel and Bryce Sunderlin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
