UPDATE: Downey also wrote this 1944 article.
I finished reading “Jezebel The Jeep” last month, a fun, quick read written by Fairfax Downey. Mr. Downey was a writer and military historian who served in both World War I and II. During World War II he went to North Africa, the same place he sends the book’s protagonist. The book, only 150 pages, tells a story about a soldier, his jeep, and the difficulties the soldier faces, both personal and professional.
The book’s prose is accompanied by sketches from Paul Brown. I’ve included a few below, scanned courtesy of John. He enjoyed Paul’s work so much he digitized all the drawings, many including jeeps. You can see all of them at John’s Google+ page. Also on the page is a piece of ‘Jezebel’ jeep art featured on the cover of Adventure magazine in 1944, an issue that included Mr. Downey’s story.
