К началу Второй мировой войны Советский Союз распологал самым большим количеством танков в мире. Столь мощные бронетанковые войска были созданы за десять с небольшим лет межвоенного периода. Советские бронетанковые войска должны были стать основным орудием для осуществления разработанной в СССР теорий "глубокого боя" и "глубокой операции". |

Saunders/Saro designed and built mostly flying-boats and amphibious aircraft, a natural evolution from an earlier involvement with boatbuilding. The aircraft varied greatly in terms of success. A number have gone largely unrecorded, especially some of the early prototypes. A small number of landplane designs were also conceived. The term 'Saunders/Saro' is used to describe a Limited Company which existed between 1908 and 1959. For twenty years, S.E. Saunders Ltd was engaged in boat-building, sub-contracted aircraft construction, and the development of a few aircraft to the company's own designs. In late 1928 the firm was reorganised and a new name was adopted-Saunders-Roe Ltd, usually abbreviated to Saro. The latter concern laid greater emphasis on aircraft design, and other interests were over a period made virtually autonomous.
Despite fluctuations in the success of its aircraft, the company continued with its work and by the early 1950s was the last stronghold of flying-boat development in Great Britain. Saunders/Saro was always a small enterprise compared with the major aircraft manufacturers and so a frequently one-sided battle was waged in terms of obtaining orders and developing new types. It has been suggested that the company might have done well to concentrate solely on boat-building. Certainly a significant proportion of its aircraft remained unsold or were unpopular with those who flew them. Others, however, were more successful and a few were outstanding. This is the story of all these aircraft and the company which produced them. |

In July 1944, the OSS published a "mail order" style catalogue that described and pictured each piece of specialized equipment available to the secret agent - from deadly, bullet-firing cigarettes and cameras hidden in matchboxes to compact explosives called "moles". Highly unorthodox, yet extremely effective, these weapons were produced by American Intelligence during the last year of the war for operatives behind enemy lines, and consist of some of the most innovative and sometimes deadly devices ever created. Every weapon has the original OSS descriptions, accurate illustrations and rare photographs, showing why these highly effective instruments have had a lasting effect on the world of clandestine warfare ever since. |

"Vought F4U Corsair" is the story of the "bent wing bird", one of the best known of all American military aircraft. From dominance in the Pacific in World War II to important carrier operations in the Korean War, and service with the US Navy, Royal Navy, RNZAF and French Navy, the Corsair played a pivotal and invaluable role in Allied warfare. Martin Bowman combines technical information and detailed development history with a fascinating combat history told, in many cases, by World War II pilots themselves. |
