Introduction 

When I first became interested in building some Airborne Jeeps I looked around for a good reference source.  On the front of the Resicast conversion instructions was some recommended reading, namely British Airborne Jeeps 1942 to 1945 - Modifications and Markings by Rob van Meel. 

This reference first became available in March 1997 and the edition of the book I have is the seventh edition which came out in 2002.  ISBN 90-76221-01-4 The publication does not pretend to be a complete history of the development of jeeps in the British Army but concentrates on the modification and developments of those jeeps used by the Airborne Forces.

The publication is a soft back type affair consisting of 60 pages of text and drawings and a further 18 pages of black and white reference photographs.
