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complete with a range of previously unpublished photographs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.

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.
The Soviet Mig

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
