Aermacchi Harley-Davidson Motorcycles by Mick Walker (2005). Covering the Italian Aermacchi Harley-Davidson marque, charts the history of the Varese-based company, which produced some of the truly magnificient motorcycles. From the immediate post World War II era until well into the 1970s Aermacchi, together with its business partner Harley-Davidson from 1960, built a range of motorcycles which were admired world-wide.
