Much work was carried out in the US and Great Britain to develop a special airborne vehicle which could be dropped behind enemy lines. Willy's MB jeeps were used by the infantry for transport and other commando tasks. Generally manned by a sergeant and a trooper, this vehicle was modified in many respects. It was armed with no fewer than five machine guns and had additional tanks for 135 liters of fuel.
