This book is the definitive reference on
an unusual topic. Lavishly illustrated with over 600 photographs
and over 200 charts, wartime advertisements and other educational
aids, it represents the most accurate and detailed look at the
rations provided to the German soldier in World War II. Relying
mainly on wartime German and American references, most unknown to
the general public, the book dispels the many myths associated
with German rations of World War II. It will be an invaluable
reference for the serious collector of WWII German military
artifacts.

The author's experiences in the cockpit of a Cold War icon. In
2007, a restored Avro Vulcan Mark 2 - XH558 - took to the air again
to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Falklands conflict. This
book describes test flying this magnificent, delta-wing aircraft.
Tony Blackman is the ideal person to write such a tale as he flew no
less than 105 of the 136 Vulcans built, logging 850 flights and more
than 1,327 hours. His book describes in layman's terms what it was
like to tame the first prototypes and to master the unusual
characteristics necessitated by the Vulcan's radical shape.
