quote [ Despite one of America’s top generals calling the World War II Jeep “America’s greatest contribution to modern warfare,” the little 4x4 wasn’t perfect. In fact, it rolled off the assembly line in 1941 with a terrible design flaw that could have sent soldiers barreling into oncoming traffic. ]
I'm not really a car guy, but I love historical engineering problems (check out, To Engineer is Human:The Role of Failure in Successful Design, by Henry Petroski). This is an interesting one I hadn't heard about before.
