[About the actual vehicle]
――In 1941 during World War II, a special unit called Special Air Service (SAS) was founded at the suggestion of Major David Stirling of the British Army.
――The purpose was to invade the enemy's camp deeply in a small group, destroy the aircraft at the enemy airfield, and perform missions such as reconnaissance and rearward disturbance.
――Especially on the North African Campaign, it made a name for itself by showing great success, such as traversing the desert and attacking the supply lines and airfields of the German African Corps.
――SAS has been active not only in North Africa but also on the European front, and has achieved numerous results such as 700 destroyed German vehicles and 164 railway lines.
――The vehicle used by such SAS unit is a 1/4 ton small military vehicle with four-wheel drive that was adopted in each country of the Allied Powers.
