The Ford GPA is an
amphibious 4-wheel drive vehicle which the US motor giant was commissioned
to produce for the US military in April 1942. In addition to the tried and
tested GPW engine, its brand new hull-design body was driven through the
water by a rear propeller. It took part in a number of landing operations,
including the November 1942 invasion of North Africa and the highly
significant Normandy landings in June 1944. Production of the GPA had
already ceased in June 1943, however, with some 12,800 units
manufactured.
