Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A comprehensive survey of the design history and development of the Royal Navy's greyhounds of the sea.”—WARSHIPS Magazine Since World War II, the old categories of destroyer and frigate have tended to merge, a process that this book traces back to the radically different “Tribal” class destroyers of 1936. It deals with the development of all the modern destroyer classes that fought the war, looks at the emergency programs that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels—sloops, corvettes and frigates—then analyzes the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet, and continued to dominate design down to recent years. Written by America's leading authority and featuring photos and ship plans, it is an objective but sympathetic view of the difficult economic and political environment in which British designers had to work, and benefits from the author's ability to compare and contrast the US Navy's experience. Norman Friedman is renowned for his ability to explain the policy and strategy changes that drive design decisions, and his latest book uses previously unpublished material to draw a new and convincing picture of British naval policy over the previous seventy years and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The warships of the World War II era German Navy are among the most popular subject in naval history with an almost uncountable number of books devoted to them. However, for a concise but authoritative summary of the design history and careers of the major surface ships it is difficult to beat a series of six volumes written by Gerhard Koop and illustrated by Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Each contains an account of the development of a particular class, a detailed description of the ships, with full technical details, and an outline of their service, heavily illustrated with plans, battle maps and a substantial collection of photographs. These have been out of print for ten years or more and are now much sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, so this new modestly priced reprint of the series will be widely welcomed.??All the 40 or so German destroyers that saw service during the war are detailed in this book, including captures ships. Chapters range from their design and development, armament and machinery, to appearance differences, camouflage schemes and modifications. It also covers their careers and the many actions they fought, all illustrated with plans, technical drawings, maps, and a comprehensive gallery of photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This massive work provides a comprehensive insight to the experiences of Bomber Commands pilots and aircrew throughout WWII. From the early wartime years when the RAFs first attempts to avenge Germanys onslaught were bedeviled by poor navigation and inaccurate bombing, to the last winning onslaught that finally tamed Hitler in his Berlin lair, these volumes trace the true experiences of the men who flew the bombers. Hundreds of firsthand accounts are punctuated by the authors background information that puts each narrative into wartime perspective. Every aspect of Bomber Command's operational duties are covered; day and night bombing, precision low-level strikes, mass raids and operations throughout all wartime theaters. Contributions are from RAF personnel who flew the Commands different aircraft from the early Blenheims and Stirlings to the later Lancasters and Mosquitoes.Each volume is full of accounts that tell of the camaraderie amongst the crews, moments of sheer terror and the stoic humor that provided the critical bond. The five volumes of this work provide the most vivid and comprehensive work on the outstanding part played by RAF Bomber Command and their vital role in the destruction of the Third Reich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New 2017 Revised Edition has been awarded the APMC Cultural Price at the Salon de l'Histoire in Paris. "Flames reached hundreds meters high, buildings collapsed and steel melted down: it seemed everything would be destroyed in this inferno, yet men kept on fighting." This depiction by Major-General Aleksandr Rodimtsev, 13th Guards Division Commander, refers to the first German assault in the city on 14 September 1942. The fighting in Stalingrad indeed presented exceptional features. There eventually converged the essentials of the war in the East, not only a clash of armies and ruthless ideologies but also one of civilizations, where the invaders were not seeking to conquer another vassal state but to erase an entire culture from the face of the world. Seventy years after, the release of new material from the Soviet archives finally allows to contemplate a detailed, exact study of the conflict, including new outstanding opportunites for mapping each single day of this terrible fighting. This first volume of the Stalingrad Battle Atlas series covers 30 days of combat within the city. Built upon the latest available archival data, it addresses strategic and tactical levels and features entirely new maps for each day of active operations during this period. Synthesizing a wide range of documents and sources, this chronological atlas seeks to reach the maximal degree of precision in describing historical reality, rendering it through a standardized set of instruments: timeline, order of battle, unit strength returns, situation maps, contextual photos, quotes from key actors. It can be used as a reference manual for searchers as well as a guide for those who want to know the basics: Who, When, Where. In 2015 the Russian Federal Archive Agency, in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Historical Society and the German Historical Institute in Moscow publically released “Bestand-500”, a large archival fund of seized German records from the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, the Oberkommando des Heeres and Heeresgruppe B. This new edition of the Stalingrad Battle Atlas book series thus benefits from the latest available set of wartime documents. Main features: o Latest available documents from archives o Tactical & Strategic Maps o Order of Battle & Strength Returns 548 pages A new perspective of the legendary battle on the Volga

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth work on the Messerschmitt Bf 110 variants 'B' through 'G' provides for the first time a comprehensive set of colored line drawings showing the changes as this Luftwaffe fighter evolved. For every line drawing there is an accompanying photograph and explanatory text. This work takes you through the pre-war period, the Polish campaign, the war in northern Europe and western Europe in the spring of 1940, the Battle of Britain, the Russian front, the Mediterranean theatre, Defence of the Reich, and night fighters. Lesser-known sub-variants are also featured, such as the Messerschmitt 110s used in transport glider-towing duties. A comprehensive appendix takes the reader through the changes to each sub-variant by way of cutaway drawings. The colored artwork by Fernando Estanislau is simply breathtaking, and establishes him immediately in the top ranks of aviation artists. A 'must-have' for the Luftwaffe enthusiast and modeller alike.

Download or read book The Battle of Britain written by Christer Bergström and published by Casemate / Vaktel Forlag. This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough look at this turning-point WWII aerial battle, with eyewitness accounts, maps, and rare photos: “incredibly well-researched” (Aircrew Book Review). By late summer 1940, Nazi Germany had conquered all its opponents on the continent, including the British Army itself, which was forced to scramble back aboard small boats to its shores. A non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union in hand, Hitler had only one remaining object that season—the British Isles themselves. However, before he could invade, his Luftwaffe needed to wipe the Royal Air Force from the skies. History’s first strategic military campaign conducted in the air alone was about to take place. This book contains a large number of dramatic eyewitness accounts, even as it reveals new facts that will alter common perceptions of the battle. For example, the twin-engined Messerschmitt Bf 110 was actually a good day fighter, and it performed at least as well in this role as the Bf 109 during the battle. The Luftwaffe’s commander, Hermann Göring, performed far better than has been believed. The British night bombers played a more decisive role than previously thought; in addition, this book disproves that the German 109 pilots were in any way superior to their Hurricane or Spitfire counterparts. The author has examined records from both sides and provides surprising statistics that shatter much conventional wisdom—laying out the Battle of Britain as seldom seen before. Includes color photos of the relevant aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable work pulls the lid off one of the legendary air forces in history at the very peak of its powerÑunveiling the men and machines as they truly existed day-to-day, underneath the propaganda of their own regime and the scare stories of their enemies. In HitlerÕs Germany, color photography was primarily co-opted for state purposes, such as the military publication Signal, or the LuftwaffeÕs own magazine, Der Adler (Eagle). But a number of men had cameras of their own, and in this painstakingly acquired collection, originally published in France, we can witness true life on GermanyÕs airfields during the period of the LuftwaffeÕs ascendancy. Thus not only do we see famous planes such as the Me-109, Ju-87 or He-111, but the wide variety of more obscure types with which the Germans began the war. The array of Arados, Dorniers, HeinkelsÑnot to mention elegant 4-engine CondorsÑthat were initially employed in the war are here in plain sight and full color, providing not only an insight into WWII history but a model makerÕs dream. Just as fascinating are the shots of the airmen themselves, along with their ground crewsÑfull of confidence and cheer as they bested every other air force in Europe during these years, with the single exception of the RAFÕs Fighter Command in late-summer 1940. But that was no big stumbling block to the Luftwaffe, which had bigger fish to fry in Russia and North Africa the following year. In the authorsÕ next work, ÒThe Years of Defeat,Ó we will see how the war turned more grim for the Luftwaffe, even as its expertise and skill at more deadly aircraft designs, increased. In ÒThe Victory YearsÓ we have a uniquely intimate view of an air force at the very apex of its capabilities.
