OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES
99: ACES OF THE LEGION CONDOR
by Robert Forsyth
For Germany, the Spanish Civil War proved a perfect testing
ground for new technologies and tactics. During the war,
some 19,000 German volunteers formed an aviation group
called the Legion Condor in support of the fascists.
Originally flying He 51s, they were soon upgraded to Bf
109s. These fighters proved dominant in the Spanish skies,
and many members of the legion scored five or more kills
during the fighting.

Since
Confederation, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery has
used more than 130 types of guns and rockets. Each filled a
role in the defence of Canada serving with the Regiment,
being modified, modernized, or upgraded as necessary, and
finally being transferred to the reserves. This book will be
an invaluable resource to anyone with an interest in these
weapons. Each gun has its own section, detailing its
development and its career in the Regiment at home and
overseas. Special sections deal with the manufacture of the
guns, organization and operation of the Regiment, and the
mechanization of the artillery in the 1930s. Every gun is
illustrated by at least one photograph, many of which have
never been previously published.

HISTORY OF NO. 30
SQUADRON: EGYPT AND MESOPOTAMIA 1914 TO 1919
by Major J. Everidge
A Reprint of the Original Air Ministry Historical Branch
manuscript of 30 Squadron RAF's operations against the Turks
in Mesopotamia (Iraq) in the Great War. The book spans the
period from the siege and fall of Kut to the occupation of
Baghdad and beyond. Equipped at first with seaplanes
converted for use on land, the squadron later used
unreliable Farmans. It gained air superiority over the
Turks, who flew German Fokker and Albatros aircraft, when
re-equipped with BE2Cs, Voisins, and later with 120
Martinsydes.
