The '''[[Harley-Davidson]] WLA''' was the Army version of the 45 cubic inches (740 cc) [[Harley-Davidson WL|WL]] (appended A for army) was the workhorse [[motorcycle]] of the military of many countries. Some 90,000 were built between 1939 and 1944, with 60,000 going to the U.S. military. The majority were supplied in solo form, [[sidecar]] combinations were relatively rare. These bikes were tough and dependable, and were used for solo escort, dispatch, and police duties. With the introduction of the Jeep, there was less need for motorcycles, more so when the action was concentrated in the Pacific Theatre. | The '''[[Harley-Davidson]] WLA''' was the Army version of the 45 cubic inches (740 cc) [[Harley-Davidson WL|WL]] (appended A for army) was the workhorse [[motorcycle]] of the military of many countries.
