Although built by the U.S. Douglas corporation, the A-20 "Boston" got its name and had some of its finest moments in British service. The first Bostons arrived in England during the Battle of Britain, when aircraft of all sorts were in short supply. It proved to be one of the best light bombers of the war, serving on nearly all fronts and with most of the Allies. Due to its superior bomb-aimer, Bostons led formations of more modern bombers even in the last months of the war.
This is the story of the A-20 Boston aircraft and its deritatives which saw service well into the 1960'. Fully illustrated with b/w photographs plus line drawings.

This is the first and comprehensive record of all of Hitler's bunkers and command centers, including those built and used, those under construction, and those that never got past planning. Between 1939 and 1945 almost twenty Fuhrerhaupt-Quartier were completed. At the end of the war numerous further projects were being built and countless other suitable sites were being investigated. Franz W. Seidler and Dieter Zeigert have pieced together the history of Hitler's secret headquarters thanks to the diaries of Siegfried Schmelcher, head of the construction project and Leo Muller, site supervisor, both of whom had unparalleled knowledge of the process. Their records include 158 illustrations, documents, and diagrams as well as detailed structural and material references, cutaway plans, safety instructions, and code names. Includes an inside view of Hitler's mountain retreat, the Berghof, and unique photographs of Hitler on campaigns.

A photographic and written history of the German Panzer units during World War II. Over 170 photographs. This book shows what it was like to serve in a panzer division, in all theatres of the war in sun and snow, desert and steppe. It also traces the development of German front-line armour through the under-gunned PzKpfw II to the fearsome Tiger - a tank that could take on Shermans single-handed. This is a book for all those who would understand the grim realities of blitzkrieg.

A history of the United States Army during the time it served as the vanguard of western expansion and a description of its uniforms and equipment in the late nineteenth century. Each volume in this ongoing series combines detailed and informative captions with over 100 rare and unusual images. These books are a must for anyone interested in American military uniforms.
The United States Army began to make its presence felt strongly in the West after the conclusion in 1848 of the war with Mexico, when troops were posted to Texas, New Mexico, California and elsewhere in the newly acquired lands.For most or the period from the late 1840s to the end of the 1890s, frontier troops garrisoned scattered posts from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the border with Mexico to Canada. After four years of civil war in the 1860s, attention turned once more to the West, where continued white migration led to the final clashes with the Indians at places like the Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee.The superb images and informative text in this volume vividly record the uniforms, weapons and campaigns of the 'Bluecoats' who lived and fought in the American West.

This book outlines in exhaustive details the biographies of the aces of the German Air Service, Naval Air Service, and Flanders Marine Corps. Introductory notes provide, in most cases, place and date of birth, previous military service, decorations and postwar career. But the most extraordinary achievement by the authors is in their research into the victory claims of the pilots, and especially Manfred von Richtofen. In every case, the biographies include a full list of all claims made, by date, time, location, together with the type of aircraft.
