The best pictures of Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson
On May 4, 1947, the Hells Angels motorcycle gang was formed in California. There have been many scandals around this legendary club that still exists. Perhaps the most famous of them is connected with the murder of a fan at a Rolling Stones concert in 1969, when Hells Angels were hired to guard the band during their American tour.
In 1965, the future father of gonzo journalism and the author of the acclaimed novel "Fear and Hatred in Las Vegas" Hunter S. Thompson spent a whole year with club members who usually do not let strangers into their lives, after which he published the book "Hell's Angels" (full title: HellsAngels. A Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs). We present to you the Hells Angels through the eyes of Hunter S. Thompson.
