Lovely study of a Daimler Dingo in Tunisia. IWM NA 1120 Details in ALT. The Dingo was a very popular vehicle with the enemy to. The Germans called them ‘Flitzer’ (‘Dasher’) while the Italians did it the ultimate flattery of copying it as the ‘Lince’ (Lynx), manufactured by Lancia.

V Force wasn't just regular soldiers. It relied on the bravery of local hill tribes—the Naga,Chin&Lushai people, or people like the anthropologist Ursula Graham Bower. Their knowledge of the geography of the Burma/India frontier was the ultimate weapon against invasion.
