Изображения: черно-белые фото, цветные рисунки The summer of 1944 had brought two sledgehammer blows against the Third Reich: the invasion of Normandy and Operation Bagration or, as the Germans descriptively named it, the Destruction of Army Group Center. Hitler and his lieutenants believed that Nazi Germany needed additional troops and a fanaticization of its will to reverse the course of the war, and part of their response was the creation of the German Volkssturm. This militia consisted of all civilian German men aged 16 to 60 and existed to help the armed forces, the Wehrmacht, wage a bitter struggle for every city, town, and village in Germany. Because creating this resistance would require fanatical commitment, Hitler chose to have the Nazi Party organize and administer the force in the belief that the Party had superior motivational expertise.

In this new instructional guide, expert modeler Richard Windrow covers all the common and many less common display techniques including dioramas, simple display cases, mirror stands, domes for individual figures, deep 'picture frame' boxes, and even light boxes. This is backed by a survey of the various reference books, materials, tools and paints that can help enhance a model display. In a book crammed with pictures of beautiful models on display, from World War II tanks to modern-day rally cars, Richard Windrow instructs novice and expert modelers alike on how to take a simple model and display it as a work of art.

In 1969 the Royal Air Force took a giant leap forward with the introduction of the Harrier GR.1, the world's first operational V/STOL (vertical or short take-off and landing) combat aircraft. Author Roy Braybrook puts the aircraft into a clear political and technical context, revealing the costly errors during the development programme, yet extolling the intrinsic brilliance of the basic design. The Harrier concept was completely vindicated in the 1982 Falklands campaign, and the supremacy of the Sea Harriers in air-to-air combat is fully described. HARRIER and SEA HARRIER is the most complete and original work ever published about the Harrier family. Early design studies, P.1127, GR.1, the two-seaters, GR.3, AV-8A and the Matador are included in the text, together with many new photographs and three-view illustrations. In addition, the history of V/STOL outside the Hawker project office and British Aerospace is also covered in considerable depth. The AV-8B (an enhanced derivative of the AV-8A destined to see RAF service as the CR.5), and more advanced and exotic supersonic V/STOL designs are also featured. Roy Braybrook is no stranger to the Harrier; he worked in the Hawker design department during its development, and later became involved in marketing the aircraft outside the United Kingdom. His lively, accurate text uncovers many fresh facts, and displays the insight and specific knowledge born of a close association with the Harrier programme.
