Download or read book French Destroyers written by John Jordan and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A superb book that will keep any reader happy for months as they discover stories and episodes in French naval destroyer design and history.”—Warship World Between the wars the French produced some of the largest, and certainly the fastest, destroyers in the world. Known as Contre-Torpilleurs, these striking and innovatory super-destroyers form the core of this book, but the more conventional Torpilleurs d’Escadre are also covered. This history combines the technical and service material published in French-language monographs over the past two decades with the authors’ own research from primary sources. The structure of the book follows that of the highly successful French Cruisers, with Part I devoted to the design of each of the classes built after 1922. The text is accompanied by detailed data tables and illustrated by a comprehensive set of specially drawn plans and schemas based on official documents, as well as carefully selected photographs from French naval sources and from private collections. Coverage runs down to the Le Hardi class, the last pre-war design. Part II deals with the historical side, covering the eventful careers of these ships before, during and after the war. This section is illustrated by maps specially drawn for the book, and by contemporary photographs. Like its highly successful predecessors, French Battleships and French Cruisers, this beautifully presented book “fills a significant gap in the English library about French warships. Apart from that the book will absolutely be a treasure on the bookshelves of collectors, historians, ships modelers and all other devotees of maritime history” (Go2War2.nl).

This book was released on 2005-07-19 with total page 1071 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inter-war years between 1918 and 1939 saw the newly created Royal Air Force fighting for its very existence politically, being dispatched to the remotest corners of the British Empire and its Protectorates in various policing roles and then finally engaged in a headlong rush to modernize in the face of the new German Fascist regime that was threatening British and European freedom. Yet this important period in RAF history and its effect on political and military rationale during the period has never been completely documented. This exhaustive and comprehensive reference is the most detailed work to be published on the subject. The author gives full information on the changing structure of the Force during the period, squadron operations, political machinations and their effects, the airplanes and their equipment, the personnel, technical advances in navigation and breakthroughs achieved in engine performance. The book is cross-referenced throughout, extremely well illustrated and contains an abundance of location maps and other diagrams. This book will become a Bible for anyone interested in the history of the RAF.This work has been reviewed by personnel at the RAF Historical Branch who praise it.

Book Synopsis The Handley Page Victor: The History & Development of a Classic Jet by : Roger Brooks
Download or read book The Handley Page Victor: The History & Development of a Classic Jet written by Roger Brooks and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2007-11-12 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of Roger Brooks detailed reference to the Victor covers the conception, design and test-flying of the prototype HP 80 and then the production and operation of the Mark 1 in its many roles. This second volume completes the history of the aircraft by describing the improved Mark 2 that was primarily conceived to carry Britains Blue Steel nuclear deterrent. The aircraft was to be re-engined with the Rolls-Royce Conway and the enlargement of the air intakes in the wing are one of the more noticeable external differences on these models. When the V-Bomber Force lost its primary raison detre as the delivery vehicle for the nuclear deterrent, the Victors were adapted for the air-to-air refueling tanker role, a task they successfully carried out until their airframe life was exhausted.This volume also includes lengthy appendices on all Marks that include a mass of detailed historical information, the testing of many new systems, modifications throughout service life, the authors first-hand experiences as a Victor crew chief, operational records and a complete list of all Victor accidents with a detailed analysis and official reports.
Book Synopsis Tales of Animal Vengeance in the Fantasy World by : Amrahs Atina
Download or read book Tales of Animal Vengeance in the Fantasy World written by Amrahs Atina and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to a world where imagination takes flight, where creatures of myth and legend roam, and where the untamed wilderness is a battleground for epic battles of vengeance. In this book, "Battles of the Beasts: Tales of Animal Vengeance in the Fantasy World," we journey into a realm where animals are imbued with magical powers, where kingdoms rise and fall, and where the laws of nature and fantasy intertwine in mesmerizing ways. Get ready to be swept away by a collection of fantastical stories that delve into the realm of animal vengeance like never before. In "Battles of the Beasts," we continue this tradition by weaving animal protagonists into the fabric of fantastical worlds, where they rise against their oppressors, harness their magic, and seek retribution for the wrongs inflicted upon them. The stories in this book are inspired by a wide array of creatures from mythology and folklore, from majestic dragons to wise phoenixes, from cunning werewolves to graceful unicorns. These creatures come alive with vivid personalities, magical abilities, and unyielding determination as they navigate the challenges and perils of their fantastical realms, seeking to right the wrongs done to them and their kind. Through their tales, we explore the depths of their emotions, the complexities of their worlds, and their unwavering pursuit of vengeance. "Battles of the Beasts" is not just a collection of stories about animals seeking revenge in a fantasy world; it is a reflection on the power of imagination, the importance of empathy, and the timeless human desire for justice. It invites us to ponder the meaning of power, the consequences of oppression, and the morality of revenge. It challenges us to question societal norms, to examine our biases and assumptions, and to explore the complexities of good and evil. It ignites our imaginations and transports us to worlds where animals are not just passive characters, but active agents shaping their destinies. As the author of these tales, I have drawn upon my love for fantasy literature, my fascination with myth and folklore, and my admiration for animals to create these stories. I have been inspired by the rich tapestry of fantasy worlds, the diversity of creatures that populate them, and the limitless possibilities of the genre. I have also been moved by the timeless themes of justice, equality, and the plight of the oppressed, which are just as relevant in the fantastical realms as they are in our world. Through these stories, I hope to transport readers to worlds where the fantastical and the natural collide, where animals are not just passive entities, but active participants in shaping their destinies.
Book Synopsis The Royal Air Force - Volume 2 by : Ian Philpott
Download or read book The Royal Air Force - Volume 2 written by Ian Philpott and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume II of this mammoth reference work covers the years in which the League of Nations failed because of the emerging dictatorships in Germany and Italy and the expansionist policies adopted by Japan. Britain was still reeling from the consequences of World War I and the RAF was sadly far behind the other major world powers in aircraft design, still relying on bi-planes that were direct descendants of World War I thinking. It gradually became apparent that, despite UK government dithering, the RAF needed to develop new aircraft, engines and increase production to confront the bully-boy tactics of the Axis powers. As the turn of the decade approached extraordinary measures were taken to enable RAF to defend Britain's skies and this her freedom. As with Volume 1, this book covers every conceivable part of the RAF's history through these pre-War days. It looks at the development and invention of new equipment such as radar, monoplane fighters, metal construction and the heavy bomber. This was an era when science in aviation was rushing ahead and fortunately for Britain's freedom, it laid the foundations of victory in 1.945

Book Synopsis Cold War Test Pilot by : Ron Burrows
Download or read book Cold War Test Pilot written by Ron Burrows and published by Air World. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chief test pilot recounts his hair-raising experiences with the RAF in this detailed and often-witty memoir. Includes photos. The Falkland Islands had been invaded and a Task Force was already steaming south at full speed. On board the carriers were the Harriers that would provide essential aerial cover for the British troops and ships sent to recapture the islands. They would be entering particularly hostile territory, and the type’s capabilities urgently needed to be expanded and proved. This was a job that Ron Burrows and the test pilots of his elite Fighter Test Squadron at Boscombe Down were ready to take on. From the 1960s to the 1990s, Ron test-flew all the RAF’s fast-jets—in the process of which he survived two crash landings and two emergency ejections, as well as numerous other close shaves. A master of his craft, he rose to become the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment’s chief test pilot, and this is his remarkable story. With four test-flying tours under his belt and close-air-support missions flying Hunters in the Aden Emergency, Ron’s experiences extended throughout the critical final decades of the Cold War. A graduate of the US Navy’s test pilot school, he has flown an unusually broad range of US and UK aircraft from fast-jets to heavy multi-engine aircraft. With his unrivaled knowledge and expertise, he is able to explain the methods, techniques, and demands of his profession, with many examples of what can and often does go wrong in aircraft development and testing. His descriptions of his near misses and catastrophic accidents are written with color and candor. But he also tries to inform the reader about the skills required to fly and test fast-jets and about the development of cockpit displays and design, highlighting some of the issues and problems encountered in development and in operation. “If it can go wrong, it will go wrong” could be the subtitle of this frank and witty account which flies along with the speed of one of those fast-jets.
