This book tells the story of the famous James ML military
motorcycle which had originally been developed as a utility machine
for the working man and was then modified for the military during
the Second World War. The James ML was used for carrying messages
on the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day landings, earning it
lasting respect and affection. The book covers the various military
roles for the motorcycle, including airborne use and its various
deployments. The author also describes ML production after the end
of the war when the reliability and ruggedness that it had
displayed as a military machine proved effective in off-road
competitions. The author also presents a brief history of the James
and Villiers companies and provides a background to the military
decision to purchase lightweight motorcycles. He describes the
evaluations and tests and compares the James ML with other
motorcycles in the running. Illustrated with colour and black and
white images from contemporary magazines such as Motor Cycling and
The Motor Cycle, this book tells you all you need to know about
this iconic motorcycle.
