The Allied advance through Italy 1943-1945 is less known than the parallel campaign in France and the air war is perhaps the least known aspect. Containing the Allied advance as long as possible and protecting the industrial cities of northern Italy from bombardment were top priorities of the Luftwaffe. With a Luftwaffe general, Albert Kesselring, in overall command the Luftwaffe was able to coordinate its activities with the ground forces more efficiently than on some other fronts.Germany regained control of the situation more quickly and put up a more determined resistance after the capitulation of the Italian government than had been anticipated by the Allies. Maintaining air superiority over the battlefield and hampering German supply and reinforcement became of prime importance to the Allied air forces. This detailed account draws on official sources and detailed research, and is supported by a superb selection of photographs of aircraft types and actual operations. |

Once it became apparent that German military ambitions in the west were to be thwarted by British resistance and Hitler's attention turned to the greater goal of the defeat of Stalin's Russia, the need to shore up the defense of Europe against any possible attack from the British Isles became imperative. Although earlier phases of the war had proved the ineffectiveness of fixed defensive lines- most notably in the failure of the French Maginot Line -the concept of an Atlantic Wall was central to German defensive plans in the west. Stretching along the Atlantic and Channel coasts, a complex network of fortifications was constructed, a network that was to have a dramatic impact on the Allied strategic planning for D-Day in June 1944.
Although the Atlantic Wall was to fail its ultimate test, along certain sections of the coast the German defenses were able to impose massive casualties on the invasion force; if the German support forces had been able to reach the Allied beachhead more rapidly, the history of the war might have been fundamentally different.
A book devoted to the construction, manning and defence of Hitler's Atlantic Wall, largely from the German viewpoint, and covering such issues as how far the French resistance stifled construction and sabotaged materials. |

In April 1941 Britain's first jet left the ground at a grass airfield 4 miles from Gloucester Cathedral. It was the start of a revolution in air travel, military and civilian. During the 1940s Britain's first-ever jet aircraft, the world's first jet fighter in squadron service and the first jet to hold the world air-speed record were all designed, built and flown in the Gloucester and Cheltenham area. The story of Frank Whittle's invention and dogged development of the jet engine is well known. But the account of how his invention was put into the air has never been fully told. This book tells the story of how the men and women of north Gloucestershire made Whittle's engine fly. |

Drawing upon his knowledge as a professional military pilot with the RAF, and on his detailed researches, Andrew Brookes examines the history of the aerial war on the Eastern Front. Military and aviation historians will find 'Air War Over Russia' an authoritative examination of an often neglected aspect of the Eastern Front in World War 2. It tells the human story of the people involved, from Hitler and Stalin down to those who fought in the skies and on the ground beneath. |

Duncan Howarth has been modeling military vehicles for years. But he started to find the range of models offered by the kit manufacturers restricting - there were so many unusual and interesting prototypes that he wanted to model, but couldn't. So he began to use ordinary kits as the bases of increasingly adventurous conversions. With the help of drawings and photographs, parts are made to create new variants of existing models and, sometimes, almost completely new models, using just a few components from a donor kit. This book guides the reader through a series of increasingly complex conversions based on readily available kits of World War Two types, and culminates in a magnificent model of the Vomag self-propelled gun built entirely from scratch. Each build is accompanied by drawings, prototype photographs and photocopyable templates which will allow you to build the conversion yourself. The book also gives you the know-how to undertake new and different conversions of your own. |
