Pietrasanta – The main industry of this medieval Tuscan town is art. Michelangelo was among the first to sculpt here, Henry Moore was by no means the last. Today Damian Hirst sends his work here to be executed in Marble, so does Marc Quinn. The town is also a part time home for less conceptual artists such as Colombian, Fernando Botero, the Polish sculptor, Igor Mitoraj and Peter Randall-Page.

LUFTWAFFE COMBAT REPORTS
Almost immediately after the end of the Second World War,
tensions between the former Allies appeared and quickly
developed into the Cold War. As relations with the Soviets
cooled, Britain and America had to face up to the possibility
that the pilots of the USAAF could soon find themselves lining
up alongside the men of the recently defeated Luftwaffe in a
fight to the death with the Red Army. With that appalling
prospect in mind, the pool of hard-won knowledge of the
Luftwaffe was invaluable – and had to be collected as quickly as
possible.
MEMOIRS OF A STUKA PILOT
Helmut Mahlke began his career as a naval pilot and later
transferred to a Stuka Gruppe that was intended to serve aboard
the never-completed aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. At the outbreak
of war, Mahlke and his comrades were incorporated into the
Luftwaffe; what follows in his memoirs is a fascinating Stuka pilot’s
eye view of the most important campaigns of the early war years
including the fall of France, Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the
invasion of the Soviet Union.
