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 These stories, several of them previously unpublished, are reminders of the men who once rode these machines during the war.This book will be of interest to enthusiasts of Harley-Davidson, Indian, and military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.
