Article Title and/or Image Caption: This Jeep Can Swim. Secretly developed army amphibian scout ashore o afloat... already in action against the enemy
extracted text: NEWEST and most versatile member of
the world-famous Jeep family, the U.S.
Army's !;-ton amphibian (Model GPA) has
now gone into action with U. S. forces.

This seagoing jeep operates on either land
or water, and can pass from one medium to
the other with a single minor adjustment
by the driver, during which the car doesn’t
have to stop. Its possibilities as a recon-
naissance vehicle are startling. With it an
advance patrol can creep up back roads to
a river, scout along the shore, cross at any
point to investigate the enemy's territory.
It can race back with its information about
as fast as any other jeep—upwards of 60
miles an hour on good roads. Twenty of
them can ferry 100 fully armed men across
water to strike the enemy from the rear.
