HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF: AIR WARS OVER IRAQ SINCE 1914

by Peter G. Dancey 


An interesting monograph tracing the use of airpower over Iraq, or Mesopotamia as it was previously known, since it was first employed by The Royal Flying Corp to harass the Turks of the Ottoman Empire in World War I. Via anti-insurgency operations in the 1920s and '30s, World War II, the Arab/Israeli wars of the 1960s and '70s and the Iran/Iraq War, the story comes right up to date with Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and enforcement of the UN 'No Fly' zones in the '90s, to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

OSPREY MEN-AT-ARMS 465:
                              BRAZILIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN WORLD WAR II

by Cesar Campiani Maximiano & Ricardo Bonalume Neto   

It is little known in the English-speaking world that a volunteer Brazilian Expeditionary Force fought alongside the US Army in Italy from mid-1944. This was in effect a light infantry division, consisting of three infantry regiments augmented with artillery and light armour. It was supported by a Brazilian Air Force contingent of a light reconnaissance squadron as well as a P-47 Thunderbolt-equipped fighter squadron. This is a seriously researched volume on a little-studied subject matter complete with a range of previously unpublished photographs and specially commissioned colour artwork by Ramiro Bujeiro.

BREAKING POINT OF THE FRENCH ARMY

by David Murphy 

The Nivelle Offensive of 1917. In December 1916 General Robert Nivelle was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the French armies fighting the Germans on the Western Front. He had enjoyed a meteoric rise to high command and public acclaim since the beginning of the war - he was a national hero. In return, he proclaimed he 'had the formula' that would ensure victory and end the conflict in 1917. But his offensive was a bloody and humiliating failure for France, one that could have opened the way for French defeat.

MIG AIRCRAFT SINCE 1937

by Bill Gunston & Yefim Gordon

The Soviet Mig design bureau has become famous throughout the world since the launch of it's first fighter, the MiG-1, in 1940 and, when Germany invaded in 1941, more than one third of Russia's fighters were MiGs. The rest is history - the MiG-15 in Korea, The MiGs 17 and 21 in Vietnam and the Middle east and the astounding MiG-25 'Foxbat'designed to counter the Lockheed A-12/SR-71 high altitude intruders. Gunston and Gordon's book is a masterpiece, packed with detail and hitherto unpublished data for MiG afficianados.
