A history of the United States Army during the time it served as the vanguard of western expansion and a description of its uniforms and equipment in the late nineteenth century. Each volume in this ongoing series combines detailed and informative captions with over 100 rare and unusual images. These books are a must for anyone interested in American military uniforms.
The United States Army began to make its presence felt strongly in the West after the conclusion in 1848 of the war with Mexico, when troops were posted to Texas, New Mexico, California and elsewhere in the newly acquired lands.For most or the period from the late 1840s to the end of the 1890s, frontier troops garrisoned scattered posts from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the border with Mexico to Canada. After four years of civil war in the 1860s, attention turned once more to the West, where continued white migration led to the final clashes with the Indians at places like the Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee.The superb images and informative text in this volume vividly record the uniforms, weapons and campaigns of the 'Bluecoats' who lived and fought in the American West.

This book outlines in exhaustive details the biographies of the aces of the German Air Service, Naval Air Service, and Flanders Marine Corps. Introductory notes provide, in most cases, place and date of birth, previous military service, decorations and postwar career. But the most extraordinary achievement by the authors is in their research into the victory claims of the pilots, and especially Manfred von Richtofen. In every case, the biographies include a full list of all claims made, by date, time, location, together with the type of aircraft.
