by International trucks to the Belgian Congo, 1937

The front cover of an issue of International Trail magazine featuring images of the expedition of Italian explorer and filmmaker Attilio Gatti to the Belgian Congo in Africa. The illustration is of a custom 1937 DS-30 truck, popularly referred to as a "jungle yacht," that was used for the expedition. Another 1937 D-35, styled by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky is shown.   These trucks were quite lavishly appointed, at least by the standards of the time, it seems.  From Wisconcin Historical Images.
