TIGER

by Thomas Anderson

One of the most feared weapons of World War II, the Tiger was a beast of a machine which dominated the battlefields of Europe with its astonishing size, speed and firepower. More than 70 years after it was first designed this comprehensive, illustrated history reveals its development. Thomas Anderson draws upon original German archival material to tell the story of the birth of the Tiger, and analyzes its success on the battlefield and its many modifications and variants. Illustrated throughout with rare photographs and drawings, many of which have never been previously published, this is a unique history of the most famous tank ever produced.

MEMORIES OF THE AIR WAR IN EAST ANGLIA

by Martin W Bowman

From 1943 the peaceful English backwater of East Anglia became ‘Little America’, home to one of the most intensive military operations ever staged – the air war in Europe. In this fascinating book the author chronicles the lives of ordinary people, of the airmen and others who were involved in the desperate struggle to free Europe from Nazi tyranny. Illustrated with many photographs, taken at the time and since, this is a superb evocation of a period when two nations were suddenly thrown together in mutual cause.

THE FORTS & FORTIFICATIONS OF EUROPE 1815-1945:
                                                                         THE CENTRAL STATES

by J .E. & H. W. Kaufmann 

After the Napoleonic Wars the borders of Central Europe were redrawn and relative peace endured across the region, but the volatile politics of the late nineteenth century gave rise to a new era of fortress building. The authors of this extensively illustrated study describe how defensive lines and structures on a massive scale were constructed along national frontiers to deter aggression. The Germans, Austro-Hungarians and Czechs all embarked on ambitious building programmes. Artillery positions, barbed-wire networks, casemates, concrete bunkers, trench lines, observation posts all sprang up in a vain attempt to keep the peace and to delay the invader.

THE CIVIL SERVICE RIFLES IN THE GREAT WAR

by Jill Knight

Civil servants are not generally known for their soldierly qualities, yet in the Great War a volunteer regiment of 'civil servants and their friends' served with distinction in the front line, fighting in many of the major battles. This study, subtitled 'All Bloody Gentlemen', draws on previously unpublished material ­ personal memoirs, diaries and interviews ­ to tell their extraordinary story. It is supported by a wealth of marvellous photographs, together with appendices on Brigade Orders of Battle, Battle Honours and Awards, and Graves and Memorials.

RED EAGLES

by Steve Davies 

From the mid-1960s until the end of the Cold War, the US Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating a secret squadron to expose American fighter pilots to the enemy aircraft they were likely to meet in combat. In this program MiGs were secretly acquired and selected ace pilots were trained to fly the assets - exactly as they were flown by America’s enemies. This book tells the fascinating story of the secret, Nevada based Red Eagles Squadron, using recently declassified information and firsthand accounts from the pilots who took part in the program.
