Book Synopsis British Forces Motorcycles 1925-1945 by : Chris Orchard
Download or read book British Forces Motorcycles 1925-1945 written by Chris Orchard and published by History Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most far-reaching of the many changes wrought on the military by the First World War was the mechanisation of the armed services. After many centuries of use by the Army for patrols and communications, the trusty horse was finally supplanted by the newfangled motorcycle. This process of mechanisation gathered pace during the interwar years and in particular for the military motorcycle between 1925 and 1939. By the outbreak of the Second World War the motorcycle had become an important part of the military inventory and was deemed ‘suitable for WD (War Department) requirements’. When it was first published in 1995, this fully illustrated book was unique in looking at all military motorcycles of British origin known to have been tested mainly by the Mechanical Warfare Experimental Establishment (later called the Mechanisation Experimental Establishment). This edition is fully revised and updated and includes three new chapters, covering standard parts, bike markings and paint schemes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harley-Davidson WLA and other American military motorcycles performed crucial roles during the Second World War in the U.S. armed forces and other Allied armies worldwide. Liberator: The Harley-Davidson WLA in the Second World War for the first time tells the full story of how the U.S. Army and Marine Corps and other Allied armed forces used the Harley-Davidson WLA and other American military motorcycles during the war. The book traces the development of the WLA in 1940-42 from the civilian Forty-Five models of 1929-39, describes the evolution of U.S. Army and Marine Corps usage of motorcycles through the motorcycle-borne mechanized cavalry experiments of 1940-41, and addresses wartime use of motorcycles in each major type of U.S. Army unit (mechanized cavalry, armored divisions, infantry divisions, airborne divisions, military police, etc.) and in Marine Divisions, with detailed tables of organization and equipment for each. Moreover, Liberator: The Harley-Davidson WLA in the Second World War describes the use of the WLA, Indians, and other Harley-Davidsons in each Allied army that used them. It especially emphasizes their use by the Soviet Union, which was the largest user of the WLA, receiving more through Lend-Lease than the number used by the U.S. armed services. These countries include:- Soviet Union- Canada- United Kingdom- Australia- New Zealand- South Africa- India- Poland - France - Brazil- Iran- Republic of ChinaAlthough primarily focused on the Harley-Davidson WLA, the book also describes use of other Harley-Davidsons, Indians, and small motorcycles designed for airborne troops, in the U.S. armed services and other allied armies. These other models include:- Harley-Davidson WL- Harley-Davidson "Big Twins"- Indian 741, 640, 344, and 340- Cushman Model 53 scooter - Simplex ServicycleUnique human perspectives on the Harley-Davidson WLA and other American military motorcycles during the war come from the stories of several individual U.S. Army soldiers who fought on motorcycles, and the histories of a U.S. Army military police unit and a Red Army motorcycle battalion. These stories, several of them previously unpublished, are reminders of the men who once rode these machines during the war.This book will be of interest to enthusiasts of Harley-Davidson, Indian, and military motorcycles, and to military historians and preservationists worldwide.

Book excerpt: This is a reprint of The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles originally published in 2001. From Pittsburgh's adoption of motorcycles for police use in 1909 to General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing's motorized pursuit of Pancho Villa into Mexican territory in 1916 to the deployment of motorcycles in both world wars, this book tells the fascinating tale of these magnificent machines from their 20th century beginnings to their current use by police departments and militaries throughout the world.Joseph Berk explores the history of their manufacture by Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, BMW, and others, from marketing strategy to product evolution. In addition, he gives the reader an exclusive inside look at how specific police departments from Atlanta to Los Angeles determine which make and model to adopt, complete with critiques of the "Big Three" police models used in the United States from officerswho have put them to the test. Berk's detailed look at the intensive 10-day training program LAPD motor officers undergo is a testament to the carefully honed, specialized skills motor officers bring to their work, and lively discussions with individual officers about how they put their machines to work on the streets on a day-to-day basis offer a unique personalized perspective.
