Язык: немецкий Der Autor legt ein lückenloses Typenbuch des von Professor Hugo Junkers in Dessau begründeten Flugzeugbaus vor. Jedes einzelne Flugzeugmuster wird beschrieben und eingeordnet, mit ausgewählten technischen Daten markiert, im Bild vorgezeigt und mit einer Dreiseitenzeichnung anschaulich verdeutlicht. Aus unzähligen informationsreichen Details entsteht so die facettenreiche wie auch widersprüchliche Historie, die mit Junkers-Flugzeugen begann und mit JFM-Flugzeugen endetet, die jeweils auf besondere und gravierend gegensätzliche Weise den Standort Dessau weltweit bekannt machten. Dies ist nicht nur für Typensammler, Freunde der Luftfahrtgeschichte und der Flugtechnik ein beachtenswertes Buch.

This book begins with the history of the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade from the first days of training in Great Britain to the last days of the war with the Dunkerque Battle. After pure historical notes, the topic moves to tanks. First the Cromwell A27 ARV Mk I and in deeper detail the Cromwell A27 ARV Mk IV 75mm with a large chapter description. Many photos show the Cromwell IV during training days. Cromwell mk IV A27 Typ E 75mm is the next tank and it is reported with photos shot during May 1945 during their homeward journey to Czechoslovakia and passing through liberated cities and villages. With the Cromwell Mk IV A27 Type F 75mm we find many intertesting photos with crews during maintenance services or parades. Again photos are in good conditions and many details are well visible. Next is for the Crusader (II, III and AA) family.After a short introduction note we find dozens of photos, Camouflage schemes and markings.Most photos have been took around 1943/1944 in Scotland. The book closing topic is related to the M5A1 Late Stuart, with 40 vehicles assigned to the Armoured Brigade and used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. This book has a large amount of good quality photos and Czechoslovaks had the interesting habit to give nick names to tanks and make interesting markings. Contains 188 b/w photographs. Dual Czech / English text.

In the spring of 1941 a there was a pro-Axis military coupe in Iraq. They hoped, with the help of Germany, to free themselves of British control. They sent a large land force to surround the Royal Air Force training base at Habbaniya, as they wanted to offer the Luftwaffe the use of the base's airstrip. But the British at the base, using antiquated aircraft and makeshift munitions, launched an air campaign against the Iraqis that, while costly, was a complete success. This story is told by one who was there.

A scant three years after publishing his account of WWII's land war in the Pacific (Touched with Fire), historian Bergerud has completed an exhaustive companion volume addressing the theater's ferocious air war. Bergerud states clearly at the outset that he has attempted to cover both sides of the Pacific air war fairly; but, he notes, fairness dictates acknowledging "that something went very wrong in Japan during the 1930s and that the air war in Asia was due to Tokyo's overaggressive nature." Giving Japanese pilots their due, however, Bergerud portrays them alongside their American counterparts as honorable and worthy warriors. Indeed, the cutting-edge Japanese Zero fighter plane gave Tokyo an early advantage that threatened to overwhelm the Americans. Refreshingly multidimensional, with battle tales carefully crafted within the context of the overall campaign, this meticulously documented work portrays both the stark conditions and the high stakes of one of the largest air wars in history. Although much of the factual material comes from archival sources, the meat of the work is in the firsthand interviews with the rapidly dwindling pool of Pacific war veterans. The nuggets are well worth digging for. One American former pilot, for example, describes being forced to belly flop his plane after being attacked by an enemy Tony aircraft: "I have no idea whether that Tony pilot claimed me as a victory, but he certainly had a legitimate right to because my airplane was forced to crash-land and was totally wiped out." Scenes such as these help this fine history bring home with clarity the perils and rewards of the Pacific campaign and, in the process, illustrate lessons of value to today's military commanders.
