Издательство: Frank Cass Серия: Naval Policy & History Автор: Peter Hore Язык: English Год издания: 2005 Количество страниц: 364 ISBN: 0-203-50851-3 Формат: pdf (e-book) Размер: 7,08 mb This edited volume comprises a series of essays about Patrick Maynard Stewart Blackett, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, as well as a prominent figure in the Royal Navy and British politics. Blackett was battle-hardened in World War I and contributed directly to the Allied victory in World War II. Showing precocious ability in mechanical invention and benefiting from the Royal Navy's revolutionary education - the most advanced available in Britain in the early 1900s - Blackett had gone to war in 1914 aged 16. Escaping death and drowning, he saw action in two major battles, and spent several gruelling years on patrol in small ships. When the Royal Navy sent its young officers to be "civilized" at Cambridge after World War I, Blackett decided to stay on. Blackett would go on to become one of the most remarkable scientists of his generation, winning the Nobel Prize for physics in 1948 for his work on cloud chambers. He also helped prepare Britain for war, working with Henry Tizard in the 1930s on the Committee for the Scientific Survey of Air Defence, which led to the installation of radar stations, and later developing the science of operational research, which helped defeat the U-boat menace. Although not a pacifist, he was strongly opposed both to nuclear weapons and to indiscriminate bombing, on grounds of morality and efficacy. Blackett would go on to advise Harold Wilson in Britain and Jawarharlal Nehru in India on defence and science policy. Throughout his life, Blackett would keep the commanding presence and habits of a naval officer, which helped him apply his influence.
Издательство: Villard Books Серия: Villard Military Series Автор: Ashley Brown Язык: English Год издания: 1986 Количество страниц: 96 ISBN: 0394744047 Формат: pdf Размер: 42,9 mb Israeli airborne troops are among the most feared and highly skilled of the world's elite fighting units. Masters of the surgical operation and the surprise assault, they are renowned for their heroism and success under fire. Strike from the Sky, the third volume in the Villard Military Series, presents the command structure, the tactical superiority, and the individual members of these crack airborne forces as they have never been seen before-up close and in action. From the daring drop behind enemy Egyptian lines led by Ariel Sharon in 1956, to the dramatic raid on Entebbe, to the recent campaigns in Lebanon, here are the vital battles and crucial victories that have put the airborne troops on the front line of the Israeli Defense Forces. More than 100 illustrations and photographs, in both full-color and black-and-white, capture the extraordinary nature of the Israeli paratrooper's extraordinary calling.
Nakajima Ki.84a/b Hayate in Japanese Army Air Force Service (Aircam Aviation 29) By Richard M. Bueschel Publisher: Osprey 1972 52 Pages ISBN: 0850450446 PDF 9 MB As the American transport vessels and their escorts headed norrh toward Luzon from Panay Island in the centre of the Philippines, they were covered by a protective screen of carrier-based F4U Corsairs. USAAF land-based P-38 Lightnings were also on hand, ranging over rhc Mindoro Straits from their bases on Leyte. The lookouts on board ship began to relax. The day was coming to an end as the sun sank lower toward the sea to the west. The date was 5 January 1945, and the possibility of attack from the air was negligible as the Japanese air forces in the Philippines had been all but destroyed. One month earlier, on 7 December, the Americans had blasted a reported 56 Japanese planes out of the skies over Leyte for the loss of a single P-38 Lightning. Since that date Japanese attacks from the air had been sporadic, with suicide attacks largely replacing conventional raids.

De Havilland Vampire F1-T55 (Aircam Aviation 33) By Richard Ward Publisher: Osprey 1972 52 Pages ISBN: 0850451345 PDF 10 MB The Vampire, inevitably linked with the Meteor, will be chiefly remembered in Britain as one of the main stepping stones between the piston engined fighters of World War 2, and the long-awaited swept wing, transonic jets of the mid-lQSO's. For a decade the RAF depended upon the inseparable Vampire and Meteor, and though they were decidedly elderly by the time replacements finally materialised, they served us well. The Vampire was soon switched from interception duties to become our first ground attack jet, our first Navy jet, and then to give outstanding service as a standard jet trainer.
