BATTLES WITH PANZERS:
                                  MONTY'S TANK BATTALIONS 1RTR & 2RTR AT WAR

by Patrick Delaforce 


 

Britain's Royal Tank Regiment has seen the stalemate of trench warfare, the restoration of battlefield mobility and the establishment of armoured and mechanized forces as a dominant factor in battle. During WWI, 1 RTR won two Victoria Crosses and were victors in the first ever tank versus tank engagement, and 2 RTR fought in all the key Western Front battles from Messines to Cambrai. In WWII 1 RTR saw action in the North African desert, in Italy and in Northwest Europe, whilst 2 RTR fought in France, North Africa and Burma, and later in the 1944-45 Italian campaign, ending the war in Austria.

OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 73:
                                                   EARLY GERMAN ACES OF WORLD WAR I

by Greg Van Wyngarden

The Fokker Eindecker monoplane started the true age of fighter aviation. With the development of its revolutionary synchronised machine gun system, the Eindecker caused consternation in the ranks of Allied airmen as its pilots began to reap a grim harvest of victims in 1915. The exploits of aces like Max Immelmann and Oswald Boelke became legendary and they received the adulation of the German public, along with such honours as the first awards of the Orden Pour le Merite (the 'Blue Max') to airmen. They created the tactics and principles of German fighter aviation.

OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 86: P-36 HAWK ACES OF WORLD WAR 2

by Lionel Persyn


The Curtiss P-36 was considered a revolution in performance design in comparison to other US fighters, yet by the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor it was increasingly being supplanted by the P-40. The P-36 was then exported to France under the guise of the Hawk 75. Flown by the French, captured by the Germans, sold to the Finns, transferred to India and Africa, and used by the RAF, the Hawk 75 saw service in every theatre of operations. Co-authored by Kari Stenman and Andrew Thomas and illustrated by Chris Davey, this book depicts the P-36 with colour artwork, photographs and first-hand accounts.

FULL CIRCLE: LOG OF THE NAVY'S NO. 1 CONSCRIPT

by John Gritten 


This is the story of a journalist’s wartime service at sea. Starting in the engine room as a stoker, John Gritten recounts his early experience of the dramatic events of the Norwegian campaign, followed by service in many different locations. Commissioned, his D-Day role was in a tank landing craft bound for King Red beach. His notes give a sense of immediacy to a combined operation on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Just as graphic are some of the images of his final months of service in the Far East.
