THE SINKING OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES AND THE REPULSE
by Martin Middlebrook & Patrick Mahoney
On 10th December, 1941, the Royal Navy
Battleship HMS Prince of Wales, and the Battlecruiser HMS Repulse,
were sunk by land-based bombers and torpedo bombers of the
Imperial Japanese Navy. The objective of Force Z, which consisted
of one battleship, one battlecruiser and four destroyers, was to
intercept the Japanese invasion fleet north of Malaya, However,
the fleet was without any air support, which had been declined by
the commander of the Force, Admiral Sir Tom Phillips. 840 men died
in the sinking of the two ships. The authors dispose of several
myths and address the controversy surrounding the disastrous
sinkings.

From the mid-1960s until the end of the Cold War, the US Air
Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating a
secret squadron to expose American fighter pilots to the enemy
aircraft they were likely to meet in combat. In this program MiGs
were secretly acquired and selected ace pilots were trained to fly
the assets - exactly as they were flown by America’s enemies. This
book tells the fascinating story of the secret, Nevada based Red
Eagles Squadron, using recently declassified information and
firsthand accounts from the pilots who took part in the program.
The Experiences of an officer of the 16th Light Dragoons in the
Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars. In the
first chapter the author and his 16th Light Dragoons rashly charge
into the rearguard of the French Army and he is shot and
bayoneted. In 1810 Tomkinson is once again in Spain fighting the
French. This book is a fine example of a personal account filled
with detail combined with a clear and informative narrative of the
campaigns in which the writer was engaged. Originally published in
1894 as 'Diary of a Cavalry Officer'
