Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company was founded in 1903 in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin by William Harley and three Davidson brothers,
Walter, William and Arthur. One of only two American motorcycle
manufacturers to survive the Great Depression, Harley prospered during
World War II by producing large numbers of military-specific
motorcycles for use by the Army as police, escort and courier vehicles.
Harley received two Army-Navy "E” Awards, one in 1943 and the other
in 1945, for excellence in war time production. After the war, the
company once again produced recreational and racing bikes.
This advertising flag reflects Harley-Davidson’s strong support of U.S.
troops and its appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who served
our nation. As a reliable supplier of military equipment, the company
built a solid reputation and in doing so earned the respect and loyalty of
armed forces personnel who relied on motorcycles during the war effort
and potentially could become customers in civilian life.
