HARLEY-DAVIDSON WLA
In excess of 90,000 WLAs were manufactured with US forces alone ordering at least
60,000. Essentially a militarised version of Harley’s civilian WL, it entered production
in 1940 with a down-rated version of the company’s 737cc V-twin engine which,
among other modifications, aimed at making the ‘bike more suitable for low-speed
convoy work etc, had aluminium cylinder heads and larger cooling fins.
Although production started with the 40-WLA and progressed to the 41-WLA,
it is the 42-WLA model that we think of as the iconic WW2 Harley. It is most
easily differentiated from its predecessors by the low position of the headlight as
illustrated by this very clean example owned by Roger Newark.
Here ‘MP’ Roger chats to ‘pilot’ Rishi Askoolum in front of the P51-D Mustang
Jumpin Jacques
which, during its long career, was for a time assigned to
the first African-American Fighter Group, the 332nd, better known as
‘The Tuskegee Airmen’ or ‘Redtails’. Today it resides with the Hangar 11
Collection at North Weald.
