Книга посвящена участию авиации в Сталинградской битве. В настоящем труде рассматриваются действия главным образом советской авиации, поскольку основу книги составляют данные из российских архивов. Но и авиация противника - немцев и их союзников - не обойдена вниманием. Ценность материала заключается в том, что действия авиации поданы не в отрыве от "наземных" событий, а в их контексте. Сталинградская битва стала переломным моментом не только в Великой Отечественной войне, но и во всей Второй Мировой. И - как ни парадоксально - это величайшее сражение на Волге еще мало изучено, не освобождено от пропагандистских штампов и мифов. Автор, изучив тысячи документов, попытался, насколько возможно, взглянуть на это историческое событие по-новому. Книга проиллюстрирована фотографиями из частных и государственных архивов, картами, схемами, а также цветными видами самолетов - участников битвы - обеих противоборствующих сторон.

The unrestricted U-Boat war threatened the very survival of Britain, whose reliance on imported food and war materials was her Achilles' Heel. A significant element of the German submarine fleet operated from the occupied Belgian ports of Zeebrugge and Ostend. After careful planning the Royal Navy launched audacious attacks on these two ports on St Georges' Day 1918. Five obsolete cruisers and two Mersey ferries supported by a flotilla of smaller vessels penetrated the near impregnable defenses, while Royal Marines and naval storming parties battle ashore in a diversionary attack. At the time of the action the concrete filled block ships were scuttled in the ports' approaches. Despite being a costly and bloody affair for the participants, the survivors returned to acclaim. The raids gave a fillip to the national morale, at a time of depressing news from the Front. To underline the success of the affair no less than 11 Victoria Crosses were awarded.

You are opening a book that tells a story of cruelty, heroism and betrayal in an original manner and without clichés. It is a story that has all the attributes of an ancient tragedy. It involves a blood-thirsty dictator, courageous avengers as well as a vile traitor. Yet an insuperable abyss separates it from ancient tragedy. The story of the assassination of the Deputy Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich is not the work of a Greek dramatist. It is a story written by life itself. And the thousands of dead Czech patriots are real indeed.

The Universal Carrier was a fast, lightly armed vehicle developed by the British Army to carry infantry across ground defended by small-arms fire, specifically the Bren light machine gun, hence the name ‘Bren Gun Carrier’. This name would stick with the Universal Carrier and all of its future variants. This book details the Carrier, which was employed in a number of roles including carrying ammunition and towing anti-aircraft guns and trailers. All Allies used the Universal Carrier extensively during practically every World War II campaign. By the war’s end, the Universal Carrier had proved itself to be an invaluable and successful cross-country vehicle that was both agile and fast for its time.
