The Air War over the Eastern Front, history's largest and longest air campaign, has been one of the least understood chapters of aviation history. This is because-prior to the release of the Black Cross / Red Star series - histories of this immense subject have been based on material taken almost exclusively from the German side. With Volume II, the air war during the Soviet winter offensive of 1941 is described in detail. The reasons behind the German failure and subsequent resurgence in the East are portrayed, with the emphasis on air operations that have not been covered until now. Climaxing this volume are detailed descriptions of the large-scale air battles during the German offensives at Kharkov and Sevastopol in mid 1942. Nearly 200 photos and thirty well researched full-color aircraft profiles from the period illustrate this volume.

The Fiat CR.42 was considered to be one of the best and fastest biplanes ever built. This was mainly due to the fact that the Italian Air Force was a little bit slower than other air forces to adopt the monoplane, retracting under-carriage and enclosed cockpit concept. They considered that maneuverability was more important than speed and therefore stuck with the biplane. First flown in 1938, the Fiat CR.42 was still being used, though not as a front-line fighter, well into 1944. This full color, photographic reference manual with history, technical details and color profiles is a part of Italeri kits 1260 and 2653.

Developed by Fairchild from the previous C-82 Packet, the C-119 was one of the most important transport planes of the Fifties. The C-119C model had two 28 cylinder Pratt&Whitney four row radial R-4360 engines and it was distinguished from later types partly by its single wheel front undercarriage and different tail design. Production of the C-119C was speeded up when the Korean War broke out and these planes were soon being used for most of its transport missions. At the end of the war, a large number of the planes were supplied to the French, who used them widely in Indochina. Another less well-known but equally important role they played was to transport material for the construction of the DEW line radar stations in the far north of the American continent. Many examples of the C-119C were subsequently updated to meet the standards of later models. This full color, photographic reference manual with history, technical details and color profiles is a part of Italeri kit 1146.

While it maintains the familiar lines of the Hercules, a common sight in the world’s skies for decades now, the C-130J has been extensively re-designed. The most visible change lies in the use of two 4700 HP Rolls-Royce (Allison) AE2100D3 engines, with six-blade composite-material propellers that ensure silent running and low fuel consumption. High performance features include an excellent rate of climb and an extended range of action thanks to the new engines. An equally important development is the avionics: the cockpit, in fact, is equipped with new digital instruments and a Head-Up Display that provides the pilot with a constant stream of data without him having to look away from the cockpit window. The C-130J is steadily becoming the standard transport aircraft in many NATO countries. This full color, photographic reference manual with history, technical details and color profiles is a part of Italeri kit 1255.

В монографии рассказывается об истории вопроса реформирования русского Черноморского флота линкорами-дредноутами в начале 10-х гг. XX столетия - политической подоплёке принятия судостроительной программы 1911 г., предусматривающую постройку трех линкоров-дредноутов для Черного моря, как составной части морской силы для предстоящего ''окончательного разрешения Босфорского вопроса". Подробному изучению подвергнут процесс выработки конструкции черноморских дредноутов, описываются все составляющие итогового проекта. Постройка и приёмные испытания такого крупного и комплексного технического объекта, как линкор-дредноут начала XX в., выделены в самостоятельный раздел. Впервые даётся подробный обзор боевой службы "Императрицы Марии", её влияния на стратегическую ситуацию в Чёрном море.
Издание богато иллюстрировано большим количеством фотоматериалов, отражающих все моменты короткой истории линкора - его постройку, испытания и участие в операциях флота, многие из которых публикуются впервые.
