Ein US-Amerikaner im eidgenössischen Dienst

In der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre entschied sich die eidgenössische, staatliche Post zum Ankauf von neuen Fahrzeugen und erwarb FC-150 Kleinlaster aus der Fertigung des US-Herstellers Willys Motor Company, besser bekannt unter dem Label Jeep.

Als Grund für die Wahl der FC-150 Modelle dürfte höchstwahrscheinlich der Allradantrieb ein wichtiges Kaufargument dargestellt haben. Allrad getriebene Fahrzeuge kamen traditionsgemäß für den Postzustelldienst in den Bergregionen der Eidgenossen großflächig zum Einsatz. Doch nicht nur der Vierrad-Antrieb, sondern auch der kurze Radstand, der eine sehr hohe Wendigkeit auf den Alpenstraßen zuließ, passte gut in das Profil der Schweizer Post.

Es ist auch heute noch gut nachvollziehbar, wie beschwerlich das Verteilen der Postsendungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren in der Alpenregion war. Mag dies in der kurzen Sommerzeit noch einigermaßen problemlos möglich gewesen sein, so dürfte in den Wintermonaten gerade der Allradantrieb in Verbindung mit dem kurzen Radstand des Lastwagens den Arbeitsalltag erheblich erleichtert haben.

Höchstwahrscheinlich wurde der Jeep FC-150 lediglich mit Führerhaus und ohne Heckaufbau gekauft. Die Schweizer Post entschied sich für einen geschlossenen Kastenaufbau, bei dem das Führerhaus vollkommen integriert wurde. Für große Gepäckstücke bekam der FC-150 - wie nahezu alle posteigenen Fahrzeuge - einen großen Dachständer auf einen Großteil des Dachs montiert. Lackiert in den typischen drei Farben der PTT, gelb und silber, getrennt durch einen schwarzen Strich, avancierte der FC-150 ab der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre bis in die 1970er Jahre zum vertrauten Bild in den Alpen.

Un Américain pour les facteurs suisses

Dans la seconde moitié des années 1950, la Poste Suisse décide d'acheter de nouveaux véhicules et acquiert des petits camions Type FC-150 issus de la production du constructeur américain « Willys Motor Company », plus connu sous la marque « Jeep ».

Sa transmission intégrale a probablement été un argument d'achat important. Les véhicules à traction intégrale étaient traditionnellement utilisés pour le service postal dans les régions montagneuses suisses. Non seulement les 4 roues motrices, mais aussi l'empattement court permettaient une très bonne maniabilité sur les routes alpines, mais également répondaient tout à fait aux attentes de la Poste Suisse.

On comprend encore combien il était difficile de distribuer le courrier dans cette région alpine entre 1950 et 1960. Surtout en hiver !  C’est à cette période que la transmission intégrale associée à l'empattement court du camion facilitait grandement le travail quotidien des facteurs.

Ce Jeep FC-150 a été commandé avec une cabine sans la carrosserie arrière. La Poste Suisse a opté pour une structure en caisson fermé dans laquelle la cabine du conducteur était entièrement intégrée. Pour les colis (gros comme petits), le FC-150 - comme presque tous les véhicules postaux – était équipé d’une grande galerie de toit. Peint aux trois couleurs typiques des "PTT" (Agence Suisse Poste Télégraphe et Téléphone); jaune et argent que séparait une ligne noire, le FC-150 est devenu une image familière des Alpes suisses de la seconde moitié des années 1950 aux années 1970.

Excellent intro to a complicated subject. Much superior to other more well-known -- and wordier -- attempts at explaining modernism.

Romantic Suspense-Incredible
Format: Kindle
This book was incredible from beginning to end. The author did a great job balancing the romance, mystery/suspense and emotional moments that made it hard to put this book down. The chemistry and banter between the two main characters was great. Their interactions had me smiling throughout the story. The kidnapper completely surprised me. I wasn’t even close in figuring out who it was either. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story filled with heart, suspense, and unexpected twists.

4⭐️ Romantic Suspense
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I loved this book! Good plot, good story, & it kept my interest from beginning to end. 🌶️ - A little bit of spice sprinkled in. Dark Romance is usually my genre of choice. However, Romantic Thrillers are quickly becoming one of my favorite genres that I wasn’t even quite sure existed. All of the Missing Pieces fits that genre perfectly. I really enjoyed Ridley’s character! For all the loss & trauma she has gone through, she is still so willing to help others. I loved her spitfire personality. This story had me feeling all kinds of emotions while making me giggle at times. I thought I had the unsub figured out about halfway through, but I was so very wrong! What a twist. Carter & Ridley’s relationship evolved perfectly. Ridley got the closure that she needed with her HEA. ‼️Possible spoiler ahead! ‼️I did find it hard to believe that Emerson was able to solve the case within a few minutes but wasn’t able to remember those same exact details over the course of 10 years? It felt a little too fast to me. Almost as if the author was trying to wrap up the story a little too quickly. On a side note, I wish there was a spin-off about Trey & Emerson!

The perfect romantic mystery
Format: Kindle
Honestly, this book’s hold over me was a little worrying. The story opens with a tragic event, introducing Ridley Sawyer, who immediately captured my heart. She’s tenacious, motivated, witty, and complicated. I connected with her character so quickly that she felt like a friend by the second chapter—something that doesn’t happen often. I also fell in love with her cat, Princess Tater, who had me giggling and kicking my feet. This little feline terror was so well-written that I was emotionally invested in her welfare. I would have rioted if anything happened to her or that adorable van she and Ridley lived in, which doubled as a mobile podcast station. The story beautifully portrays the other fur babies as both sources of emotional comfort and brave protectors. I looked forward to each scene that included them. Catherine painted a detailed picture of the small town and everyone living there. It perfectly sets the scene without upstaging the characters or the book’s mystery. Colt was also a fantastic character. His grumpiness blended well with Ridley’s sunny personality, but they both had a darkness that few could see. Their tragic pasts brought them together and made them grow in ways I didn’t anticipate as the story unfolded. I loved how the slow burn and spice were incredibly hot but subtle enough to enhance the story without overpowering it. I couldn’t figure out who did it, so the reveal was a complete shock. I had doubts, but the author kept me guessing until the end. My hats off to her for sending me in every direction trying to solve this mystery without successfully figuring out who it was. I yelled, and my husband came running when it was revealed. 😂 I don’t give spoilers, but if you love small-town romances, captivating characters, and true crime mysteries, you’ll be hooked on this book. It had the perfect ending, resolving all my questions and giving me more than I expected. This is my first Catherine Cowles book, but definitely not my last. Her writing style is engaging and punctuated with gorgeous sentences I eagerly highlighted on my Kindle to share with others. I highly recommend curling up in your favorite chair, grabbing a snack, and getting lost in this incredible story. You won’t regret it.
