Book - “The Winged Wheel Patch”
 

Hello all,
I am looking to purchase a copy of “The Winged Wheel Patch: A History of the Canadian Military Motorcycle and Rider” by Ken Messenger and Max Burns, published in 1993.

Does anyone have a used copy available for sale?

Thank-you!

There is a used on on amazon for $138, which seems to be just about as cheap as it gets for this book. Otherwise they start at $200 for a new copy and go way up from there.

ABE has a few (almost) cheaper ones...

Thank-you.
 

Thank-you to both of you for that information.

In a used bookstore somewhere, in a sleepy little town, there is bound to be one collecting dust with a price tag that is a mere fraction of that but I will likely grow old before I stumble across it!

Cheers!

That us getting harder to find now that there is this thing called the internet as well as online sales and auctions. Those little bookshows also have google and will see what the book has sold for on ebay in the past.

Just an aside. I helped Ken research the book. We travelled to interview ex-military riders, and I assisted him with digging out images and captioning some. Ken was keenly interested in the military motorcycle in all its shapes and forms.

Maybe Bill you might facilitate a meeting between Kolten and others at some time either in the flesh or virtually?

In Toronto C $41.03

Thanks for the lead, but that is not the book that is being sought. Kolten is looking for "The Winged Wheel Patch" book.

Thank-you.
 

Gents,

Thank-you all for your assistance! Patience paid off - thanks to a lead by a member of the forum, I was able to find and purchase a signed copy for $20 through “The Canadian Military History Library” group on Facebook. I highly recommend the group to anyone who is tempted by good deals on hard to find military books - who here isn’t?!

All the best.
