This lavishly illustrated book is a detailed record of the development and active service life of the famous British Crusader tank, and includes full details on modelling and converting the 1:32 scale Airfix plastic construction kit of a Crusader III. Part one, by John Milsom. describes the Crusader s development from the earlier A13 and Covenanter Cruiser tanks. Equipped with the brilliant Christie suspension system, and powered by a 340 hp Nuffield Liberty engine, the Crusader was capable of speeds of up to 27 mph over flat terrain, making it one of the fastest tanks of World War 2 and an ideal vehicle for the wide-ranging Western Desert battles. The early Crusader Mks J and J. were fitted with 2 pdr guns, but the definitive Crusader III which saw action at Alamein mounted a 6 pdr. The performance of all three marks in the 8th Army's battles against Rommel's Afnka Korps between 1941 and 1943 is well described in Part two of this book, by John Sandars For modellers, there is a special section on Crusader camouflage and marking schemes.

Книга посвящена одной из наиболее интересных в античном искусстве и культуре тем: трем городам, погибшим 19 веков назад при извержении Везувия. Открытые археологами, они сохранили для нас неповторимый облик итало-римского города, великолепные образцы произведений искусства: скульптуры, живописи, мозаики, предметы декоративно-прикладного искусства. Второе издание книги дополнено новыми материалами археологических раскопок последних лет.

From the resumption of automobile production at the close of World War II through the 1950s, the American auto industry would see the births and deaths of several manufacturers, great technological advances, and an era of dramatic styling as a prospering nation asserted its growing mobility. Cars of this period are among the most iconic vehicles ever built in the United States: the 1949 Ford, the remarkable Studebaker designs of 1950 and 1953, the 1955-1957 Chevrolets, the "Forward Look" Chrysler products, the ill-fated Edsel and many others.
