 The Winged Wheel Patch, A History
of the Canadian Military Motorcycle and Rider
by Max A Burns, Ken C. Messenger
Hardcover - 168 pages 0 edition (August 1, 1993)
Vanwell Pub Ltd; ISBN: 0920277853 - Special Order
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) |
