GUNTHER PRIEN AND U-47: THE BULL OF SCAPA FLOW

by Dougie Martindale





On the night of 13/14 October 1939, the Type VIIB U-boat U-47, on its second War Patrol, penetrated the main Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow and sank the British battleship HMS Royal Oak. This legendary attack is remembered as one of the most audacious raids in the history of submarine warfare. Entering service in December 1938 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See, later Kapitanleutnant Gunther Prien, after sinking HMS Royal Oak both Prien and his famous U-boat were known thereafter as ‘The Bull of Scapa Flow’. During a celebration in Berlin to mark the sinking, the crew members of U-47 were received by Adolf Hitler. For his part, Prien received the Knight´s Cross, becoming the first U-boat officer and only the second member of the Kriegsmarine to receive this decoration.

AIR WAR ON THE EDGE

by Bill Norton


A history of the Israeli Air Force and its aircraft since 1947. Previous books have been sensationalist and low on factual content, or lacking in fundamental research. Bill Norton has trawled through thousands of documents, reports, and illustrations to produce a work that is staggering in its depth. Detailed type-by-type coverage is supported by hundreds of photographs from the IAF's formative days, through the Suez Campaign, the Six Day War, Yom Kippur and on to today's sophisticated force. Includes full colour illustrations of all of the unit badges of the IAF.

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.
