German bikes have their own chapter with classics such as NSU, Zundapp and BMW and include hybrid tracked motorcycles known as Kettengrad, with some shots actually taken by General Erwin Rommel himself. Also covered are rare experimental prototypes photographed during trials and later in combat, as well as the 'funnies' of the wartime biking world such as the Airborne forces' Excelsior Welbike (British) and the Cushman parascooter (US).As the only cc -cially available book of military motorbikes, Motorcycles At War is a unique collection of two-wheeled images and a must for biking enthusiasts, military vehicle owners, collectors, model makers and veterans.
