Alexander the Great is one of history's most famous military
leaders of all time. Most of his thirteen year reign was spent in
hard campaigning which conquered half the known world, during which
he was never defeated. Whilst biographies of Alexander abound, there
are few books dedicated to the Macedonian army which made his
dazzling conquests possible and which proved itself the most
formidable machine of the age. The author analyses the recruitment,
equipment, organisation, tactics, command and control of the
fighting arms and describes some of Alexander's most famous battles
and sieges.
The story of the
TSR.2s inception, development and downfall, what the RAF wanted
the aircraft for, how it might have been deployed, what weapons it
might have carried and how it might have appeared had it actually
entered service. All the illustrations are based on primary
sources, such as the surviving prototype aircraft, the preliminary
BAC camouflage scheme drawing of November 1964 and relevant Air
Ministry Orders. Unit markings have been drawn up based on
established practice by the units concerned An invaluable guide to
modelling this legendary aircraft.
