Hello All;
"The Bicycle in Wartime" book was listed on sale in a recent
"Scholar's Bookshelf" catalog. Their web site is
www.schlarsbookshlef.com/military/ This book seller puts out several
catalogs including a 70 page military book one roughly bi-monthly. Well
worth getting on their mailing list.

PS The book pretty much skips any WWII US mil bike use. and is light on
British & German use.
