Overview

By David Doyle.
During WWII, the United States turned to Harley-Davidson and
Indian Motorcycle Company to produce military-worthy motorcycles.
Additionally, other Allied powers looked to these companies for
bikes through the Lend-Lease program. As a result,
Harley-Davidson produced the WLA, the U and UA, and the
shaft-drive XA. Indian provided the 340-B and the 741, and the
shaft-drive 841. While the WLA, U/UA, 340-B, and 741 saw
extensive military use, the shaft-drive bikes from both companies
never saw combat. The advent of the Jeep took over the
motorcycle's role in military service, and the bikes were
relegated to veteran vehicles of the past. Illustrated with over
200 color photographs, 11 black-and-white photographs and color
art by Don Greer; 80 pages.
