In this scholarly study, the author
follows the development and use of the many colors used and
establishes the links between the then-standard industry RAL
colours, and those adopted by the German Air Ministry. Using
original documentation, he reveals how and why these finishes were
developed and applied to both military and Lufthansa aircraft in
such detail that anyone with an interest in the subject can
recreate Luftwaffe colours with unprecedented accuracy. The book
includes Official camouflage patterns for almost every type of
German aircraft plus a highly accurate chart of paint chips,
produced by the same company which produced the official RAL
charts.

Hannibal has always been the most famous member of the Barcid
dynasty, however the author's revealing study makes it clear that
Carthaginian success was founded on the military and political
skills of more than one member of this family. He looks at
Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal's father, who relaunched Carthage as an
imperial power. He also looks at the contribution of Hasdrubal and
also Hannibal's brothers. Hoyos investigates the means by which
the Barcids won and kept their dominance.
