The WWII history of the Parachute Regiment based entirely on
the accounts of their campaigns and operations, both by the
commanders and the men who took part in them. It is a stirring
record, beginning with the attack by a handful of men on an
obscure viaduct in southern Italy, and ending with the
triumphant drop of an entire division on the other side of the
Rhine. It includes the tragic, glorious story of the Battle of
Arnhem. This is a new Battery Press edition
OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 72:
F-86 SABRE ACES OF THE 4TH FIGHTER WING
by Warren Thompson
The entry of the North American F-86 into the Korean War was
triggered by the ever-increasing presence of Soviet-built MiG-15s
south of the Yalu River. The possibility of the USAF losing air
supremacy over the Korean Peninsula was unacceptable. The 4th
Fighter Wing was made up of a combination of new pilots just out of
jet training and the older combat veterans of World War II. These
pilots wrote and re-wrote the text books on jet warfare. Of the 40
jet aces that the war produced, the 4th boasted 24 of them. This
book details these incredible pilots and the planes they flew.

EINMANNBUNKER:
SPLITTERSCHUTZBAUTEN UND BRANDWACHENSTANDE
by
Michael Foedrowitz
A fascinating illustrated study of German one-man bunkers and
pillboxes in World War II. These were used for many purposes but
primarily for fire watching and to protect those guarding
strategic installations such as power stations and rail yards.
This a unique look at these smallest shelters is long overdue. It
is packed with colour and black and white photographs and
illustrations.

The first virtually all-jet war, the conflict in Korea saw F-86
Sabres of the USAF take on MiG-15s of the North Korean and
Chinese air forces. Although the Allied pilots were initially
taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat,
sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots
to dominate the dogfights. Thirty nine F-86 pilots achieved ace
status, and a number of these are profiled in this volume, as
are notable pilots from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Royal Navy
and, for the first time, the handful of MiG-15 aces.
