Chinese WLAs?
One of the greatest mysteries of the 'Lend-Lease' program remain the WLAs which were shipped to China. They were procured by the US Army under the Defense Aid (DA) program in 1941 and as such they did not receive US Army Registration Numbers. 1000 Type I and Type II bikes were delivered to China at the end of 1941 and the beginning of 1942.
42WLA2580, a Type I, is easily recognised by the high headlight, early round Air-Cleaner and Bicycle style kick starter pedal. http://www.theliberator.be/liberator8.htm
