Dodge WC 56 / WC 57 / WC 58 Command Car WW2 - Historische Fotos Teil 2 von 2


The photos below are of a Dodge that was deliberately "sunk." Seems that jeeps were
not readily available from the motor pool when jungle recons were necessary.
So, this resourceful group would deliberately run a Dodge off a road and "lose" it in
deep water. After the Dodge was written off as lost by the motor pool, Dave would
send his engineers down to retrieve it. Once they cleaned it up and got it running
again it became a communications Truck.
 
Lt. Colonel O. Howard Davidsmeyer, Sr. was in charge of communications in the Pacific
on MacArthur's staff. He was an engineer before the war and also served in the Navy
in world war one. He participated in many landings under fire in the Pacific.
He was known to his staff as "Dave."
