Description
The James ML Military Motorcycle: A Story of Utility and War. Developed originally as a utility machine for the working man, the James ML was later modified to serve in military roles during World War II. Its use on the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day landings earned it lasting respect and affection. This book tells the story of the James ML's various military roles, including airborne operations and its deployments. The author also explores the motorcycle's post-war production, where its reliability and ruggedness proved effective in off-road competitions. A brief history of the James and Villiers companies is provided, along with a background to the military decision to purchase lightweight motorcycles. The book includes detailed specifications and colour schemes for both military and civilian models. Illustrated with contemporary photographs from Motor Cycling and The Motor Cycle magazines, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the iconic James ML motorcycle.
