While the cruiser is an underestimated vehicle out and about these
days, its part as a vehicle in war is regularly ignored. In
this article, the part of the cruiser is investigated in the connection of
the Korean War and the vital part which it played amid this
clash.
Cruiser makers have a long history of venturing up to the
plate and conveying when their nation is in need. Amid WWI and
WWII, makers, for example, Indian, Harley Davidson and Triumph
given machines to the military which were prepared to the definite determinations of the Pentagon. In
certainty, Harley Davidson created more than 90,000 machines for the U.S.
military amid WWII alone!
Ahead of schedule in the Korean War (August 1950), no less than 45 bikes were
pulverized amid an unsuccessful endeavor to withdraw. No, these
weren't Harleys that were caught - they were
North Korean
bikes caught by the U.S. 25th Division, third Battalion, fifth
Marines. Indeed, the recently framed North Korean Army (helped and prepared
by the Soviets and Chinese) had among its 90,000 men a whole
bike observation regiment. On this specific day, then again,
the bikes met their match in the Corsairs that swooped down on
them with their 20mm weapons and rocket assaults.
