The First Helicopter Boys, The Early Days Of Helicopter Operations: The Malayan Emergency 1947-1960

Your Towns & Cities In The Great War, Poole in the Great War
This addition, to what has become a very popular series, looks at Poole during the Great War.

British Naval Weapons of World War Two, The John Lambert Collection, Volume II: Escort and Minesweeper Weapons
This is one of those books where the the most effective review is “WOW!!!”. The late John Lambert was a prolific technical illustrator who was highly regarded for the quality of his work and knowledge of naval vessels and weapons. The publishers have secured his extensive library of plans, many never before published, and are now releasing a series of books based on the images. This will be warmly welcomed by warship modellers and naval historians, but should be widely read and enjoyed by everyone with any interest in warships and their weapons – Most Highly Recommended
Battleship Bismark, A Design and Operational History
After an epic 56 year period of research, the heavyweight history of the Bismark must be the definitive book on this subject. This beautifully produced book, with its fabulous selection of photographs, charts and drawings is not to be missed – Most Highly Recommended
