The redoubtable Focke Wulf 190 fighter - or, more precisely, the A, F and G models of the FW 190 - are described in this 1999 Squadron/Signal release by Brian Filley. Luftwaffe fans should enjoy this photo-packed tribute to what many believe was the Luftwaffe's best fighter. After a brief introduction to the FW 190's origin and early development, Filley covers each model in turn, describing the various sub-types such as A-1, A-2, A-3, etc. with text and numerous illustrations. When it first appeared in the fall of 1941, the FW 190 gave the Germans air superiority over RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes. It subsequently performed well against USAAF day bombers, flew nightfighter missions, was a very effective fighter-bomber and even served as a torpedo bomber! Filley's book includes over 100 b&w and color photographs; numerous side-views, four-views, scrap views of weapons, landing gear, wing details, etc.; and two pages of Don Greer color profiles. |

Amphibious landing forces are charged with landing enough assault forces and supplies to maintain and reinforce a beachhead on enemy shores. This beachhead would be held until sufficient ground troops can land and carry the fight to the enemy and defeat him on his own soil. The first recorded amphibious landing on enemy soil was carried out by a strong Persian force landing at Marathon, Greece in 490 BC. A much smaller Greek Army eventually defeated the Persian Army and the Persians were forced to withdraw. Julius Caesar of Rome employed amphibious forces when he conquered England in 54 BC. In 1066, Norman ruler William the Conqueror used amphibious forces to cross the English Channel and defeat the English forces at the Battle of Hastings. During the American Revolution, General George Washington utilized the element of surprise and wooden rowboats to cross the Delaware River on 25 December 1776. His forces attacked British (Hessian) forces at Trenton, New Jersey. Washington's crossing of the Delaware marked the first time American forces had utilized amphibious warfare. In 1847, during the Mexican War, US Marines attacked Veracruz, Mexico from the sea. They secured the beach and defeated the Mexican forces. The US War Between the States (Civil War) produced few amphibious landings, with the exception of the Northern forces attacking the Batteries Tracy and Huger, part of the defenses of Mobile, Alabama in 1864. The last US amphibious landings during the 19th Century occurred in the Philippines Islands, when American troops attacked Spanish forces during the 1898 Spanish-American War. This would not be the last time American forces would have to attack that island group. World War One saw no amphibious landings since American forces landed on friendly territory during that conflict. |

An excellent blend of the history of US light cruisers, development of each class and what makes one different from the other. The B&W photos help show the gun positions, the lines of each class and there are two pages of color plates showing the camoflague schemes used during the war. Plenty of data and statistics, line drawings that show the planes, different weapons used (gun mounts from 20mm all the way up to 8" cannon). A really great book for modelers and those who want to get an introduction of US cruisers that were built and used to great effect in WW2. |

Historians generally agree that the birth of American air power occurred in the two decades between the world wars, when airmen in the U. S. Army and Navy forged the aircraft, the organization, the cadre of leadership, and the doctrines that formed a foundation for the country to win the air war in World War II. Nearly every scholarly study of this era focuses on these developments, or upon the aircraft of the period; very few works describe precisely what the flyers were doing and how they overcame the difficulties they faced in creating air forces. In this detailed, comprehensive volume, Dr. Maurer Maurer, retired senior historian of the United States Air Force Historical Research Center, fills this void for land-based aviation. |
