IN COLD WAR SKIES

by Michael Napier







NATO and Soviet Air Power, 1949-89. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, international relations across the globe were dominated by the Cold War. From 1949 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, US and Soviet strategic forces were deployed across the Arctic Ocean in North America and Northern Russia, while the best-equipped armed forces that the world had ever seen faced each other directly across the ‘Iron Curtain' in Europe. In Cold War Skies examines the air power of the major powers both at a strategic and at a tactical level throughout the 40 years of the Cold War, looking at each decade of the war in turn, examining the deployment of strategic in North America and Northern Russia as well as the situation in Europe. It details the strategic forces and land-based tactical aircraft used by the air forces of the USA, USSR, NATO, Warsaw Pact countries and European non-aligned nations.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ON WAR

 by Rob Johnson

The Campaign in the desert, 1916-18. This is a study of Lawrence's ideas and his campaign of irregular warfare which has informed tactical theory and decision-making down to the present day. It explores the challenges he faced in a complex environment against a more numerous and better armed adversary, and the manner in which he assessed what was changing, what was distinctive, and what was unique to guerrilla warfare in the desert. Setting Lawrence in his historical context, the book examines the peace settlement he participated in and his legacy today.

A DAY WITH AEROFLOT

With a foreword by B. Bugaev, Minister of Civil Aviation, this volume commemorates the 50th anniversary of Aeroflot, the state (and at the time, only) civil air carrier of the USSR. Aeroflot was launched in 1923 with a route from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod (later the city of Gorky). Today the airline flies internally more than 778,000km linking some 3,500 cities in the Soviet Union, together with an extensive international network. The book is packed with narrative plus several hundred colour and black and white photographs showing all aspects of Aeroflot during a typical day. This scarce volume is in fair to good condition despite some dicolouring (sunning) of the front board and slight detaching from the spine at the title page.

GUERRILLA NIGHTMARE

by Lovro Persen & Mario Raguz

Luftwaffe Stuka at war against Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia, 1941-1945. The very name, Stuka, is synonymous with the screaming sirens and the crump of heavy bombs, and for the lightly armed Partisan forces it meant despair, defeat and often, death. For five long years Stuka units in the Balkan theater came and went, depending on the war fortunes of the Axis. The bomb loads that the Ju 87 carried and the precision with which they were delivered was a winning combination. In September, 1943 it was the Stuka which spearheaded the defeat of Italian forces, and until the last day of the war it was the first line of defence against the might of The Red Army.
