GAZ-42 was the gas-generator modification of the GAZ-AA model. Typically for the Soviet automotive industry, GAZ-AA was designed after the 1930 Ford-AA model. GAZ-42 was widely used during WW2, mostly because the initial components of its fuel - firewood and peat - were abundant in the "wooden Russia". The fuel they generated was so explosive that these trucks were banned from entering ammunition and fuel dumps.
