"This book covers military motorcycles from, unbeliveably,
before WWI to 1997 when the Canadian Military, sadly disposed of the
last of their two-wheeled fleet. It is an absolutely fascinating
chapter in our history and is presented in a comfortable and
inclusive format with exceptional photographs. The photographic
history alone is worth the book, but the clear and very interesting
text describes everything from the men, clothing, bikes, training and
specific war theatres where motorcycles were deployed. I am not
generally a military history buff, but this is reivetting fare. Alison Green, editor, "The CMVG New," Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group (CMVG) , Alison Green, July 2010, Vol. 43., No.7 |
