    JEEP
    November 13, 1940 - United States

    The prototype for the Jeep featuring four-wheel drive, an open-air cab, and a rifle rack mounted under the windshield was submitted to the U.S. Army for approval by the car maker Willys-Overland. One year later, with the U.S. declaration of war, mass production of the Jeep began. By the war's end in 1945, some 600,000 Jeeps had rolled off the assembly lines.

    ENGLAND PRINCESS ANNE WEDDING
    November 13, 1972 - England,UK

    A briefing of the pre-wedding interviews of Captain Mark Phillips and Princess Anne were printed. The press had talked with this soon-to-be couple over the past weekend. One of the pressing questions asked of Captain Phillips was how he thought of the Princess he would soon be married to. The captain replied that he thought of her as a girl he wanted to marry, not as a princess. In other words, the fact that Princess Ann was royalty was not the main reason for Mark Phillip's decision to marry her. Ann was Queen Elizabeth's only daughter.
