English Electric (B.A.C.) Lightning in Royal Air Force and Foreign Service (Aircam Aviation 37) By Roger Levy Publisher: Osprey 1973 52 Pages ISBN: 0850451388 PDF 9 MB More than 20 years since its conception, and over a decade since its service introduction, the English Electric (BAC) Lightning is still one of the world's finest interceptor aircraft and is likely to remain the mainstay of Britain's fighter defences for ai least a further four or five years and possibly even longer, as well as serving With the air forces of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Not only does the Lightning have an outstanding rate of climb (initially abour 50,000 fr./min.). a maximum speed of the order of Mach 2.27 (1,500 m.p.h.)> and a service ceiling well in excess of 60,000 feet, but it combines this performance with highly responsive yet docile handling characteristics throughout its flight envelope, making it both an enjoyable aircraft to fly and a stable and effective weapons system.
Focke-Wulf Fw 190A/F/G Luftwaffe (Aircam Aviation 44) By Christopher Shores Publisher: Osprey 1974 52 Pages ISBN: 0850452031 PDF 11 MB In the early autumn of 1941 the pilots of Spitfire 5 fighters of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command, reported meeting small numbers of a new German fighter during their regular forays over the coastal region of North-Western France. The new aircraft was considered unusual at that stage in that it was powered by a radial engine, at a time when the world's best fighters were virtually all seen to feature the "pointed*' nose of the more streamlined inline power plant. Initially the Intelligence authorities suggested that these surprise new opponents might be Curtiss Hawk 75As captured from the French in 1940, and now pressed into service by the Luftwaffe. This theory quickly fell by the wayside, for it was at once apparent from early reports that the fighter possessed a performance in many ways superior to both the Messerschmitt Bf I09F, and the Supermarine Spitfire 5, the then-current equipment of the major combatants.
Автор: Frank M. Bennett Издательство: Boston and New York : Houghton, Mifflin and company Год: 1900 Язык: English Страниц: 448 Формат: PDF Размер: 19mb This book is written at the request of the pub¬lishers as a history of the origin, career, and influence of the United States ironclad steamer Monitor. The subject is a broad one, but is lim¬ited herein by the space proposed to only a cursory treatment. Many details have by necessity been left out, and only such material has been used as would serve best to indicate the important stages and events of the progressive story. It is the hope of the author that he has presented enough to impress his readers with the magnitude of the changes in all branches of human industry, and particularly in naval methods, that have been brought about by the steam engine during the course of the nineteenth century.

Philadelphia 1777: Taking the Capital (Campaign 176) By Justin Clement, Stephen Walsh Publisher: Osprey 2007 96 Pages ISBN: 1846030331 PDF 42 MB The outcome of the campaign for Philadelphia in 1777 can be seen as the turning point in the American War of Independence. The outbreak of the war two years earlier had created a split between Britain and its North American colonies and it was the actions in taking Philadelphia that precipitated the defeat of the British which led to eventual independence for the emerging American nation. Justin Clements book is part of the Osprey Campaign series and its subject matter sits well in the uniform structure of these excellent titles. The usual sections are here, taking us through the background to the campaign, the opposing commanders and the opposing forces, along with a good concise narrative outlining the chronology of the various encounters. An excellent order of battle shows the numbers of troops present in each formation with a break-down of the casualties sustained by each unit. All this combines to form a good concise reference for one of the most interesting periods of the War of Independence. Stephen Walsh provides the colour battle plates for the main text and the author has been fortunate to have access to some very good colour portraits of the various uniforms of the participating troops. These along with some contemporary black and white plates make it a visually exciting book. As you would expect, Osprey has once again commissioned excellent maps from the Map Studio and bird's eye views of the battlefield from the Black Spot, both of whom make a great contribution to the visual excellence of this series. All in all Philadelphia 1777 is another great title from Osprey.

Она жизненно необходима для танков, самолетов, автомобилей... Если нет нефти - нет горючего, вся эта грозная техника превращается в одно мгновение в бесполезную груду металла. А потому именно захват кавказских нефтепромыслов во вторую летнюю кампанию на Востоке в 1942 г. должен был обеспечить немецкую военную промышленность необходимыми запасами нефти и стать залогом победы - так считал Гитлер и его окружение.
