The motorcycle helmet has encountered much resistance from bikers
who cherish the sense of freedom they get when riding without one.
At the same time, the design revolutions it has undergone since its
introduction in the 1930s have made it as much a part of the
motorcycle culture as the leather jacket. Here the whole history is
traced, from the ancient beginnings in warrior's helmets to the jet
age molded plastic designs of the late twentieth century. All of
the world's major manufacturers are covered, and their helmets are
illustrated in detailed full color photographs. In addition, the
author has included vintage advertising, racing photographs, and
promotional materials. You will see the early football style
helmets, leather pilot's caps, pudding-style helmets, the Air Force
inspired full-coverage helmets introduced by Bell Auto Parts in
1954, and the continuing evolution up to the end of the century.
Both technical and decorative aspects are considered, along with
the changing culture around motorcyclists. For the motorcycle
enthusiast and collector, or those interested in a significant
design movement, this book will both entertain and inform.
