BOOK - MOTORCYCLES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 - (M. STRAKA)

Another book by this author deals with motorcycle history again, this time against the backdrop of World War I. It is published at a time when a hundred years have passed since its course, and the consequences of which fatally influenced further developments in Europe. The book is not a historical study of the war, it has only a modest ambition to present the role of motorcycles and the soldiers who served with them in the war. Motorcycles in the Great War performed a number of specific tasks. In addition to the very important courier service, they were also used in ambulance and reconnaissance services. Armies used motorcycles on almost all battlefields, but the largest number was on the Western Front on the side of the Allies. The book introduces the reader to individual variants of military machines, technical details, a detailed description of the most used models and the history of the brands represented.

The publication brings a lot of interesting information not only to our regular fans of motorcycle history, but should also appeal to fans of military history and militaries in general.
