In deference to the good Doctor, there is a trifling little problem with
"won".
Perhaps we should remember the contribution of 800,000 odd CMP vehicles,
Australian built trucks and many hundreds of thousand British trucks
too, substantial numbers of which fought and were lost before CCKW
production started.
For example in the 15cwt class of which the Bedford MWD, Morris
Commercial C8/CS8 and WOT2's are typical - some 230,000
30cwt and 2 ton, Austin K30, Bedford OXD, MSC, Commer Q2, MC CS11/CDF
etc., some 20,000.
3 ton 4x2 and 4x4, like Commer Q4, Bedford OYC, Leyland Lynx WDZ1,
Albion FN11, Austin K5/ZD ZK ZT, Bedford QLD etc., some 450,000
vehicles.
