The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles
by Joseph Berk
From Pittsburgh's adoption of motorcycles for police use in 1909 to
Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing's 1916 pursuit of Pancho Villa into
Mexican territory on Harley-Davidsons, Indians and Excelsiors to the deployment
of motorcycles in both world wars, this book tells the fascinating tale
of these magnificent machines from their 20th century beginnings to their
current use by police departments and militaries throughout the world.
Joseph Berk, author of The Gatling Gun, explores every aspect of police
and military motorcycles, including the history of their manufacture by
Harley-Davidson, Indian, Kawasaki, BMW, Honda and others; details of their
procurement by selected U.S. police departments; critiques of the "Big
Three" police models employed in the United States from officers who have
put them to the test; a detailed outline of the intensive 10-day training
program required of U.S. motor officers; an inside look at how specific
police departments from Atlanta to L.A. utilize motorcycles on a day-to-day
basis; and a look at the specific makes and models used by Special Forces
and other military units from World War I through the turn of the century
and beyond. Amazon.com

The Winged Wheel Patch, A History of the Canadian Military Motorcycle
and Rider
by Max A Burns, Ken C. Messenger
The lack of any public recognition for the efforts and sacrifices of
Canadian motorcycle riders during wartime has been a source of frustration
for some veterans. The Winged Wheel Patch corrects the oversight with a
lavish presentation of rare photography and an abundantly detailed record
about the Canadian experience on military motorcycles. It's a large-format
8 1/2 x 11 hardcover book printed on glossy paper, and the reproduction
of the photography is particularly good. The Winged Wheel Patch and its
authors deserve praise for gathering together what otherwise threatened
to slip through the cracks of time. In words and pictures, the fragile
history of the Canadian military bike and rider has been carefully sheltered
between the covers of this book. (Bruce Reeve, Cycle Canada Magazine,
Nov-Dec/93)
