Harley-Davidson WLA: The Main US Military Motorcycle of World War II (Legends of Warfare)

The story of an iconic model in the long history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the WLA, which was used by Allied forces during WWII, is told for the first time. Developed for the US Army's mechanized cavalry, it became the leading US military motorcycle of the war. It served the US armed services as a messenger and military police vehicle.

The Red Army's motorcycle battalions, reconnaissance units of its tank armies, also used them as their primary vehicle. The armies of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, China, and Brazil also made use of the model and its variants. It is known today as the "Liberator".

Discover the history and stories of individuals who rode this icon to war and why the model is now a favorite among civilian collectors.

This uniquely detailed guide covers all the markings used on American tanks and tracked vehicles, lorries and jeeps to denote their unit and classification, plus tactical markings and the debarkation codes used in the Normandy landings.

Hundreds of contemporary photographs are paired with precise color diagrams to show exactly how markings appeared on vehicles, including the exact measurements of markings, and explaining all the different variations in use. A final chapter covers the variations of camouflage used on vehicles.

American Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles of World War I - Illustrate'd Histories of 225 Manufacturers

World War I had an enormous impact on American civilian motor vehicle manufacturers, contributing to the success of some and the failure of others. Beginning with the 1916 Punitive Expedition against Pancho Villa, this history shows how over 200 manufacturers contributed to the war effort, many benefiting strongly from government contracts to produce vehicles for military use. It examines how military mechanization and the automotive industry developed symbiotically, each affecting the other in profound ways.

Industrialized warfare didn't necessarily mean efficient production - standardization and mass production techniques were still in their infancy, and some manufacturers were better positioned to take advantage of the crucible of war.

- M9 Armored Combat Earthmover;

Les Véhicules Alliés du D-Day

The Allied landing in Normandy remains to this day the most important military operation in history. D-Day and the immense battle that followed mobilized men and equipment that can only be counted in the thousands, without forgetting the decisive role of the infantryman during the landing.

"Allied vehicles of D-Day" highlights the extreme mechanization of this Allied army that rarely moves on foot. Indeed, the first of the great victories won by the Allies is above all a logistical battle.
Tens of thousands of vehicles of all tonnages will stretch out in immense convoys along the main French roads to allow the infantry and armored divisions to push the enemy to the gates of the Reich.

From the simple motorcycle to the tank, from the Jeep to the GMC, including the half-track and special vehicles, it is the entire American and British military arsenal that landed in a few days on the beaches of Normandy that you will find in this book. The Liberation of France and that of a large part of Europe is above all the victory of the internal combustion engine...
