The History Of Hickam Field And The Attacks Of 7 December 1941, “They’re Killing My Boys!”
Three leading US military historians collaborate to produce a fresh review of the wider actions on the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbour. This is an original review of the attack with fresh insight and many rare photographs. – Most Highly Recommended.
Enemy Coast Ahead, The Illustrated Memoir of Dambuster Guy Gibson
This is one of the most important memoirs of WWII. Guy Gibson will always be remembered for leading the daring raid on the German Ruhr dams with a unique special bomb, but his illustrated memoirs cover so much more and provide a very important view into the life of pilots and commanders of RAF Bomber Command. – Most Highly Recommended.
Walking Gallipoli, Battleground Gallipoli
The Battleground Series has become extremely popular, combining thoroughly researched text, great photos and other images, all at a very low price. Gallipoli was a tragedy for many reasons but it was also a battleground where soldiers, airmen and sailors fought with determination and great courage. – Very Highly Recommended.
Images Of War, Battle Of Midway, America’s Decisive Strike In The Pacific In WWII
The new Frontline Books series offers great images, concise insightful text, at a low price. The Battle of Midway was the start of the fight back that destroyed the Japanese navy and its aviation, ending in Japanese defeat. – Very Highly Recommended.
Images Of Aviation, Early French Aviation, 1905-1930
The first decade of aviation saw France in a commanding position, but this advantage was steadily lost to other nations. This new book provides a fine selection of rare images from the golden years of French aviation. – Very Highly Recommended.
Balloons and Airships, A Tale Of Lighter Than Air Aviation
A fascinating and delightful review of the history of lighter than air aviation from its first days through to today. This well written text is supported by images throughout the body of the book, mostly in full colour on gloss paper . – Very Highly Recommended.
