From 1943 the British began the design of a tank that bore distinct similarities to the German Panther tank. Designed as a Universal Tank, the design emerged in mid-1945 as the Centurion. It was last used in action by the British Army in 1991 during the Gulf War. It has also seen action with the Israeli Defence Forces, the Indian Army in the wars with Pakistan and the Australian Army in Vietnam. This book details all the variants of the Centurion used in these conflicts as well as covering the specialised variants last used by the British in the Gulf War.

Amid the continuous struggle for aerial superiority during World War 1, two aircraft types were at the forefront. Both rotary-engined fighters, the Sopwith Camel and the Fokker Dr I triplane were relatively slow for their time, but were regarded as the most maneuverable machines produced during the conflict, and the classic pair for a tight, evenly matched dogfight at close quarters. In this book Jon Guttman examines the fascinating story of the design and development of these deadly foes. First-hand accounts and innovative cockpit-view artwork give a thrilling insight into the pilots' experiences during the world's first aerial duels and explain their successes and failures.

The Ironclad was a revolutionary weapon of war. Although iron was used for protection in the Far East during the 16th century, it was the 19th century and the American Civil War that heralded the first modern armored self-propelled warships. With the parallel pressures of civil war and the industrial revolution, technology advanced at a breakneck speed. It was the South who first utilized ironclads as they attempted to protect their ports from the Northern blockade. Impressed with their superior resistance to fire and their ability to ram vulnerable wooden ships, the North began to develop its own rival fleet of ironclads. Eventually these two products of this first modern arms race dueled at the battle of Hampton Roads in a clash that would change the face of naval warfare. Fully illustrated with cutting-edge digital artwork, rare photographs and first-person perspective gun sight views, this book allows the reader to discover the revolutionary and radically different designs of the two rival Ironclads - the CSS Virginia and USS Monitor - through an analysis of each ship's weaponry, ammunition and steerage. Compare the contrasting training of the crews and re-live the horrors of the battle at sea in a war which split a nation, communities and even families.

In a symphony of immense, furious power, seven Merlin V-12 piston engines scream at the desert floor brushing just feet beneath at 400 mph. It is a sound that courses through the spectator for the rest of his or her life. On the next pages are the sights of the 1982 Reno Air Races, an outrageous annual event that has somehow survived fuel crises, a recession and the antiquity of the machines that participate. The National Air Races could happen only in America: racing a P-51 (or a or a Sea Fury or a Corsair) demands great wealth of the owners, an exceptionally cool approach of the pilots and a remote site that won't object to the din of 20,000 hp thundering overhead. But Reno is more than the brute power of the Unlimiteds. AT-6s SNJs (Harvards) have a class of their own: although slower than the P-51S, the AT-6s make a fine spectacle as they battle around the pylons to the rasp of transonic prop tips. In contrast to the heavyweights, the sport and racing biplanes and the IFM/Formula One racers buzz around their own, tighter course like garish insects, but still pursued by the same desire to be first that drives the heavy metal. Meshing together all this frantic speed is an air show featuring the gamut from mock battles, formation jet aerobatics, wing-walking and warbirds.
