Язык: немецкий. Der Leser der Bildbände der WAFFEN-ARSENAL-Reihe, gewohnt, Berichte über Militärflugzeuge in dieser Reihe zu sehen, wird sich erstaunt fragen, wie das Flugschiff Do X in diese Reihe hineinkommt. Der Grund liegt darin, daß dieses seiner Zeit weit vorausgeeilte Fluggerät tatsächlich als Militärflugzeug konzipiert und später auch als solches verwendet wurde. Im Kriegsverbrecher-Prozeß in Nürnberg wurde unter anderem eine sogenannte "Geheime Dienstschrift Nr. 15", herausgegeben vom Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine 1937, vorgelegt. Auf Seite 587 des Bandes XXXIV der Nürnberger Prozeßakten, die die erwähnte Dienstschrift behandelt, wird geschildert, daß Dornier 1927 im Auftrage der Reichsmarine das Großflugboot Do X, das in der Dornier-filiale Altenrhein gebaut wurde, entwickelt habe. Es heißt dann: "Die Do X war als seefähiges Versuchsboot mit größten Ausmaßen für die Verwendung als Fernaufklärer, Minenleger und Torpedoflugzeug gedacht". Es wird dann zwar weiter bemerkt, daß die tatsächliche Verwendbarkeit im Seeflugdienst der Marine gering war; die Tatsache bleibt aber bestehen, daß die Do X als Militärflugzeug geplant war, und die 1925 entstandenen 10- und 12-motorigen Entwürfe nichts mit der Do X zu tun hatten. |

This is the story of some of the most famous and ferocious warriors in history. From the Huns to the Mongols, successive waves of nomadic horsemen swept out of the great steppe lands of central Asia to wreak havoc on the static civilizations of Europe, India and China. How were they so successful? What were the limits of their powers? Professor Hugh Kennedy reveals why such 'undeveloped' societies spawned great generals from Attila to Genghis Khan. He explains how the nomadic Arabs swarmed out of the desert in the 7th century to carve out an empire that stretched from Spain to the Chinese frontier, why the Mongols failed to conquer western Europe, and where those unique, sea-borne raiders, the Vikings, fitted into the story of kingdoms versus nomads. |

In the armies of the Napoleonic era, the infantry formed the most numerous, and arguably the most important, of all the 'arms'. But the winning of the battle is in the detail - the proper management of those arms. In this book, companion to the similar work on cavalry, the author looks toward what actually happened in the battles of the period, rather than what should have occurred, according to the regulations. The infantry's weapons are examined: the use of the musket, bayonet, pikes and swords, the manner in which they were used in attack and defence, exemplified by contemporary accounts and illustrations. Misconceptions are explored and questions answered: for example, why the bayonet was so highly regarded when it inflicted hardly any casualties, why the merits of the column and the line are not clear-cut and how, whether in square or skirmish line, the infantry of the Napoleonic Wars actually fought. |

Without cavalry, Napoleon remarked, battles were without result--and it was, in fact, a most important part of the army at that time. Today's leading Napoleonic expert shows how the great cavalry commanders used, and misused, their resources. Hundreds of illustrations offer close-ups of weapons and forces. Paintings of major battles detail the cavalry deployment in all its complexity and feature valuable, unique descriptions of saber, lance, armor, and carbines. Through the author's explanations of how cavalry functioned in the skirmish line and the charge, technical debates that have raged among experts over the years are finally resolved. |

When a melting Swiss glacier recently revealed the body of a hunter millennia old, the world sat up and took notice. Here, in his well-preserved arrows, tools, and leather garments (not to mention his own remains) was a rare glimpse of life in prehistoric Europe, and it captured the public imagination. Elsewhere more obvious remnants of the pre-classical past have long been objects of fascination: the megaliths of northwestern Europe, the palaces of Crete, the mysterious cave paintings of France. Now archeologist Barry Cunliffe and a team of distinguished experts shed light on this astonishing, long-silent world in a comprehensive and lavishly illustrated account. Ranging from the earliest settlements through the emergence of Minoan civilization to the barbarian world at the end of the Roman Empire, The Oxford Illustrated Prehistory of Europe provides a fascinating look at how successive cultures adapted to the landscape of Europe. In synthesizing the diverse findings of archeology, the authors capture the sweeping movements of peoples, the spread of agriculture, the growth of metal working, and the rise and fall of cultures. They provide intriguing insight on the Minoan and the Mycenean past underlying classical Greek history, and on the disasters that destroyed Minoan civilization. They explore the increasingly sophisticated societies of northern Europe, revealing surprisingly far-reaching trade between different areas. The peoples of Bronze Age Denmark, for instance, sent amber to Germany in return for scarce metal, while new technologies spread widely across the continent. The book continues through the end of the Roman Empire, exploring the barbarian world beyond Rome's northern frontier. For centuries, we knew little of the European civilizations that preceded classical Greece or arose outside of the Roman Empire, beyond ancient myths and the writings of Roman observers. Now the most recent discoveries of archeology have been synthesized into one exciting volume. Featuring hundreds of stunning photographs (many in full color), this book provides the most complete account available of the prehistory of European civilization. |

This is a study of aircraft, from biplanes to monoplanes between the years 1919-39. The book is part of a 12-volume series, which covers the production and operation of aircraft worldwide. Each volume is devoted to essays on aircraft types, their development and option, systems and equipment. As well as outlining developments. Each article seeks to explain why progress was in a particular direction, emphasizing the political, strategic or economic factors that dictated that development. Moving from the general to the specific, graphs and tabular data relating to typical or significant aircraft or allied subjects are provided in each section. ?The series concentrates on the development of aircraft from the viewpoint of their technical development, the effect of technical development on the use of aircraft, and the effect of their usage on technical development. Contributors to this title include: Ken Munson, John Stround, Ted Hooton, Peter Hearn, Norman Friedman, Darrol Stinton, Patrick Hassell, Mike Hirst, Morman Barfield, Harry Woodman, Ralph Barker, Sebastian Ritchie and Christopher Shores. |
