Valentinian, Valens and the Disaster at Adrianople.
Valentian was proclaimed Roman Emperor in AD 364, when the
Empire was reeling from the disastrous defeat and death in
battle of Julian the Apostate (363) and the short reign of
his murdered successor, Jovian (364). With the Empire
weakened and vulnerable to a victorious Persia in the East
and opportunistic Germanic tribes along the Rhine, not to
mention rebellions within, it was not an enviable position.
Valentian decided the responsibility had to be divided and
appointed his brother as his co-emperor to rule the eastern
half of the Empire. Valens is most remembered for his
mistreatment of the Goths who sought refuge within the
Empire's borders from the westward-moving Huns. This led to
his death at the Battle of Adrianople in 378.
An
account of the structure and operations of the Flemish
volunteers of the Waffen SS 1941-1945. Includes the Legion
of Flanders, Regiment Nordwest, Regiment Westland, 6th SS
Stormbrigade Langemarck, 27th SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier
Division Langemarck and the Germanic SS in Flanders. They
served primarily on the Eastern Front and later in the
defence of the Reich. The book is illustrated by Ramiro
Bujeiro and Ray Merriam. This copy is Number 624 of a
limited edition which was signed by the author, with a

The revised third edition with
corrections and new material. The story of de Havilland's
military, civil and experimental aircraft from Geoffrey de
Havilland's first primitive biplane, the DH.1 of 1909, to
the DH.125 Executive Jet of 1962. It includes a
comprehensive history of the Company, and over seventy
important types are illustrated with details of origin,
development, specifications of all variants, the operational
careers of individual aircraft, and superb 3-view drawings.
The book traces the De Havilland story from World War I
biplanes to operational airliners of the '60s, and also
details aircraft which did not go beyond the prototype
stage.

THE BATTLE OF FRANCE: SIX WEEKS WHICH
CHANGED THE WORLD
by Philip Warner
After the long winter of the Phoney War the invasion of
the Low Countries and France by Hitler’s rampaging
armies threw the World into crisis. Chamberlain’s
Government fell, Churchill became Prime Minister. France
was humiliated, the British Expeditionary Force was only
saved by the miracle of Dunkirk but many men and huge
amounts of equipment were lost to the Blitzkrieg.
England trembled but the invasion never came.
