Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Perhaps the most far reaching of the many changes wrought on the military by the First World War was the mechanization 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 mechanization process 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 deemed 'suitable for WD (War Department) requirements'. First published in 1995, this illustrated book is unique in looking at all military motorcycles of British origin known to have been tested mainly by the Mechanical Warfare Experimental Establishment. AUTHORS: Chris Orchard is works safety engineer for Cooper-Avon Tires. He has been involved in the classic bike scene for many years, as has his coauthor Steve Madden who works as a specialist civil servant. Both Chris (who lives in Melksham) and Steve (who lives in Hampshire) own and restore former-WD motorcycles. SELLING POINTS: .
