The German-American Bund in words, photos and artefacts. What
were the origins of the Bund? They were a reaction to many things
including the post-WWI abortive Communist Revolution in Germany and
the response by the Freikorps movement, Hitler's early activities
from 1922-1924, the world-wide economic boycott of German products
starting in 1933 and anti-German propaganda in the USA during the
1930s tied with fresh memories of US involvement in the Great War,
and of course the Great Depression. This is an inside view of the
organisation from interviews, personal diaries, plus hundreds of photos
and artifacts compiled by the author.

The Life of Major
Lanoe Hawker VC, DSO, who by the age of 25, had won the VC and
DSO. This biography was written by his brother Tyrrel. From the
outset Lanoe set his sights on flying for the RFC, and after
attending the Central Flying School, he crossed to France in
October 1914, joining 6 Squadron equipped with BE2s and Farmans.
He shone as both a combat pilot and leader and was given command
of 24 Squadron. He was the first pilot to record five 'kills'
before being shot down and killed by Baron Manfred von
Richthofen (The Red Baron).
The Authors are both experts in this field of mechanised
warfare, Andy Renshaw served with a USMC AAVP battalion and has a
special interest in US armored fighting vehicles.

combat role, and combines this with informed text, action and
detail photography, colour profiles and a dedicated modelling
section. This book will be an invaluable reference source for both
the enthusiast and modeller. Includes hundreds of colour profiles,
