BLUE SKY WARRIORS
by Antony Loveless
The RAF in Afghanistan in their own words. Since 2006 the service
has provided major air support to Coalition forces in southern
Afghanistan. It has been very heavily involved in everything from
tactical reconnaissance and close air-support to in-theatre airlift
and air-refuelling. The book presents the personal stories of a
cross-section of the RAF's personnel deployed on the frontline -
from the Air Commander in overall charge, down through his section
leaders, to the pilots, engineers, loadmasters and all those on the
ground who make the whole operation possible.
THE BLITZKRIEG LEGEND: THE 1940 CAMPAIGN IN THE
WEST
by Karl-Heinz Frieser & John T. Greenwood
An illuminating
German perspective on the decisive Blitzkrieg campaign of 1940,
this account provides the definitive explanation for the rapid
military collapse of France and Britain on the European continent
in 1940. In a little over a month, Germany decisively defeated the
Allies, a task that had not been achieved in four years of brutal
fighting during World War I. First published in 1995 as the
official German history of the campaign, the book shows that
German victory was not inevitable and Allied defeat was not
preordained. It explodes many of the myths concerning German
Blitzkrieg warfare and the planning for the 1940 campaign.
