Descrição do Produto

A Complete Reference Guide to 100 Years of Military Motorcycles, From their First Use in World War One to the Specialized Vehicles in Use Today

The story of the military motorcycle, from the early years of the 20th century to the present day, with an illustrated A–Z of over 160 vehicles from around the world, with 550 photographs.

Motorcycles entered military service in World War I, replacing the mounted despatch rider and mechanizing machine-gun and stretcher units. The conflict brought an enormous upsurge in the use of motorcycles in Europe and America. This comprehensive book covers the lively history of the machines, highlighting the roles of military motorcycles, and how they have evolved. The A–Z includes makes such as Harley-Davidson from the USA, Royal Enfield from the UK, BMW from Germany, and other famous manufacturers from around the world, such as Husqvarna, Henderson and Kawasaki. Detailed specification boxes are featured for every motorcycle described.

Expertly written by military and transport historian Pat Ware, with its wealth of rare and previously unseen photographs, this book provides enthusiasts and historians with key information about these diverse and multi-tasking vehicles.
