Smilin' Jack
In just six weeks, the men responsible for vehicle maintenance at the US Army's 8th Air Force base in England took a Willys MB nicknamed Smilin' Jack and converted it into a streamlined car for the future.
The original Legend feature on Smilin' Jack has been removed from free web publication.
It is now included in the collected book, which brings together the best articles from the magazine in one volume.
