The author, Vice-Admiral Friedrich Ruge, served in the German navy from 1914 through 1945, then again when it was reborn in 1955. Hence, from his planning of various German naval operations during World War II and then as an intelligence officer researching the Soviet navy during the 1950s, Ruge has the expertise to write on this matter. As the naval attache to Fieldmarshall Rommel, Ruge presented his ideas to Rommel as to how to stymie Allied ships before they landed at Normandy in June 1944. He writes about the Soviet naval ops in the Baltic, in the Black Sea, and in the Northern Theater. He details the operations, dates and discusses specific Soviet submarines and their successes and failures against German convoys and other Axis shipping. Briefly, Ruge discusses how American "Lend Lease" ships to the Russians influenced the Russian fleet. He discusses the effectiveness of Soviet air-attack techniques against German ships. He laments the many failures of the Germans in protecting their ships that attempted to evacuate German civilians who were fleeing from Soviet forces late in the war. Ruge's book is a rather "dry" presentation of the strategic issues and ship data, with few comments as to how individuals experienced the various naval engagements. This book presents the German naval view of the limitations of the Soviet fleet during World War II.

This is a comprehensive account of the Martin AM Mauler. Besides a nice development history by author Bob Kowalski there are some interesting pilots' accounts integrated into the squadron histories. The text is rounded out with an explanation as to why the Douglas AD was preferred over the AM, an overview of other BT class aircraft, AM survivors, and AM model kits. Finally, a summary of AM accidents.
But the the real value of this book lies in the wealth of photographs and manual illustrations. One could have only wished for more close up shots. Most of the ones we do get are cockpit and landing gear.
About the only nit in the title: it should read "Martin AM-1/-1Q" instead of "Martin AM-1/1-Q". All in all a very worthwhile purchase for the modeler and the general enthusiast alike.

After losing the Battle of Britain, the German Luftwaffe switched to night bombing raids in an attempt to defeat British morale. This study examines the causes, effects and outcome of the raids on the civilian population of Britain in 1940-41. The author discusses the German decision to switch to night attacks, their weapons and tactics, the poor initial British defences, and the reactions of the civilian population to the prolonged bombing raids. He also attempts to assess the responsibility for the breach of British defences. He discusses the removal of the commander responsible for defence, political responses, and the effects of the raids on war production. Lastly, the book deals with the retaliation by Bomber Command, and the final attacks.

Another in this highly respected series which forms a comprehensive guide to fighter aircraft (and many other types) operated by the US Navy and US Marine Corps in the years since World War II. Each is an extensively illustrated guide to markings carried by each unit operating the type in question and has drawings which will be invaluable for both historian and modeller.
The unusual and innovative swing-wing Jaguar program ended up being a one airplane project even though during its development orders were placed for one hundred and twelve aircraft. That ship, Bureau number 124435, would only be flown by one pilot, Corwin "Corky" Meyer. When the program concluded in 1953 after over a year of flight testing, the flight test example 124435 along with the number two ship 124436, which was some 90% complete , were shipped to the Naval Air Material Center, Philadelphia, for use in testing barriers and barricades. The static test article, which was some 60% complete, was shipped to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland for use as a target. 49 photos, 6 pages of drawings.
