Well it isn't that simple. I have a mate in the US that was a photographer for the USAAC 5th Airforce, 3rd Bomb Group. He has compiled a CD with his wartime pictures which he sells for $25.US. He doesn't have many pictures of jeeps but the ones he has are really good and would give jeep restorers some good info as to how they were set up, serial numbers. They were taken in Charters Towers and New Guinea and the other SWP islands.
So out of respect to him I won't cut and paste them but if you are interested I can give the contact details. By the way he is now 86 yrs old.

I might be interested in that
Any teasers?
Also it might be worth mentioning this on the AusJeepOffRoad forum - there's a bigger group there.

I have emailed my mate seeking some instructions. Will advise what he wants me to do.
