The development, flight testing and service record of the Canberra are detailed in this superbly illustrated history by Roland Beamont - who after a distinguished war record became English Electric's test pilot for the Canberra in 1947 - and renowned aviation journalist Arthur Reed. As can be imagined, with two such authors the book is both authentic and highly readable.

This book looks at the lot of the average Landser, the German "Grunt", who fought through Blitzkrieg, in the Western Desert, and in the horrific frozen wastes of Russia against the most implacable of foes.
Most of the photographs in this book come from private collections and have not been published before, many from Feldwebel Gerhard Sandmann who joined the German Army at Northeim in September 1939 and fought from May 9, 1940, through Belgium, Holland, and France. He was then involved in the capture of the Channel Islands, saw service on the Eastern Front, was wounded, and convalesced in Berlin before seeing service in the Occupation Army in Holland. He was captured by the U.S. Army in Belgium in 1944.
WWII German Infantryman at War uses experiences such as these to evoke what World War II was like at the sharp end by way of the soldiers' own stories and images.

Although built by the U.S. Douglas corporation, the A-20 "Boston" got its name and had some of its finest moments in British service. The first Bostons arrived in England during the Battle of Britain, when aircraft of all sorts were in short supply. It proved to be one of the best light bombers of the war, serving on nearly all fronts and with most of the Allies. Due to its superior bomb-aimer, Bostons led formations of more modern bombers even in the last months of the war.
This is the story of the A-20 Boston aircraft and its deritatives which saw service well into the 1960'. Fully illustrated with b/w photographs plus line drawings.

This is the first and comprehensive record of all of Hitler's bunkers and command centers, including those built and used, those under construction, and those that never got past planning. Between 1939 and 1945 almost twenty Fuhrerhaupt-Quartier were completed. At the end of the war numerous further projects were being built and countless other suitable sites were being investigated. Franz W. Seidler and Dieter Zeigert have pieced together the history of Hitler's secret headquarters thanks to the diaries of Siegfried Schmelcher, head of the construction project and Leo Muller, site supervisor, both of whom had unparalleled knowledge of the process. Their records include 158 illustrations, documents, and diagrams as well as detailed structural and material references, cutaway plans, safety instructions, and code names. Includes an inside view of Hitler's mountain retreat, the Berghof, and unique photographs of Hitler on campaigns.

A photographic and written history of the German Panzer units during World War II. Over 170 photographs. This book shows what it was like to serve in a panzer division, in all theatres of the war in sun and snow, desert and steppe. It also traces the development of German front-line armour through the under-gunned PzKpfw II to the fearsome Tiger - a tank that could take on Shermans single-handed. This is a book for all those who would understand the grim realities of blitzkrieg.
