Эскадренные миноносцы типа «Новик» - это живая легенда русского и советского флота.
Благодаря своим высоким мореходным и маневренным качествам, большой автономности, сильному артиллерийскому вооружению и приспособленности к минным постановкам, они решали самые разнообразные задачи: разведку, дозорную службу, нарушение коммуникаций противника, набеговые операции на порты базирования, охранение собственных конвоев и транспортов.
Эта книга о них и о людях, имевших честь пройти этот путь вместе с ними.

The Allied advance through Italy 1943-1945 is less known than the parallel campaign in France and the air war is perhaps the least known aspect. Containing the Allied advance as long as possible and protecting the industrial cities of northern Italy from bombardment were top priorities of the Luftwaffe. With a Luftwaffe general, Albert Kesselring, in overall command the Luftwaffe was able to coordinate its activities with the ground forces more efficiently than on some other fronts.Germany regained control of the situation more quickly and put up a more determined resistance after the capitulation of the Italian government than had been anticipated by the Allies. Maintaining air superiority over the battlefield and hampering German supply and reinforcement became of prime importance to the Allied air forces. This detailed account draws on official sources and detailed research, and is supported by a superb selection of photographs of aircraft types and actual operations.

In April 1941 Britain's first jet left the ground at a grass airfield 4 miles from Gloucester Cathedral. It was the start of a revolution in air travel, military and civilian. During the 1940s Britain's first-ever jet aircraft, the world's first jet fighter in squadron service and the first jet to hold the world air-speed record were all designed, built and flown in the Gloucester and Cheltenham area. The story of Frank Whittle's invention and dogged development of the jet engine is well known. But the account of how his invention was put into the air has never been fully told. This book tells the story of how the men and women of north Gloucestershire made Whittle's engine fly.
