Flying Legends Nos 65
(pg2 books)
A photographic
study of the great piston combat aircraft of WWII
Written By John Dibbs
The Second World War triggered the
greatest technological leap in aviation since manned flight
began. In the short space of six years, military aircraft
were taken from open cockpit biplanes on a summer's day, to
fighters that were encountering the compressibility problems
associated with the sound barrier, while conquering the
skies of 40,000 feet plus. The necessitudes of the conflict
focused the industries of the global powers, which achieved
dazzling results. Represented in this splendid volume are
images of these aircraft-the last of the gladitorial steeds.
The award winning air to air photography of John Dibbs is
complemented by a selection of breathtaking archives from
the conflict, which can only truly illustrate the spirit and
humanity behind these "Flying Legends".

Osprey Series - Mosquito Nos
68 (pg2 books)
Fighter/ Fighter Bomber Units of
WW2
The second volume in the trilogy of Combat Aircraft titles
devoted to de Havilland's 'wooden wonder', this book focuses
on the Mosquito fighter/fighter-bomber variants, and their
users. From its earliest development phase, the aircraft was
considered as much a fighter as a bomber, and this was duly
reflected when the original 1940 Air Ministry order for 50
Mosquito bombers was modified to 20 bombers and 30 fighters.
This volume is the first of its kind exclusively dedicated
to the fighter/fighter-bomber variants of de Havilland's
classic World War II (1939-1945) aircraft.

Mosquito Nos
69 (pg2 books)
In this exciting new title the author tells
the story of the aircraft, De Havilland Mosquito and those who flew
it. Enshrined in history as the wooden wonder , the de
Havilland Mosquito was arguably the most beautiful aircraft
ever built and also to fly. Loved and respected by its
flight crew and opponents respectively, it is one of the
iconic aircraft of World War 2. Although originally designed
as a bomber for the RAF, its performance rivalled that of
most fighters of the time and the Mosquito undertook a range
of duties unsurpassed by any other military aircraft -
daytime tactical bomber, night-time high altitude bomber,
day and night fighter, photo - reconnaissance and
pathfinder. The original conception of the Mosquito was
unusual - to make use of the spare capacity in Britain's
furniture making industry to construct a wooden aircraft -
but once the aircraft took to the skies it was an immediate
sensation. It could carry a huge range of hardware yet keep
speed and manoeuvrability and its construction gave it
ruggedness and an ability to bring its crew home. The
aircraft is associated with some of the most famous names of
World War 2 - such as Guy Gibson and Leonard Cheshire - as
well as some of the most daring operations of the war, such
as the low level daylight raids on Amiens prison in 1944. On
the Gestapo headquarters in the Hague in 1944 and the
Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen in 1945. In addition the
Mosquito flew thousands of everyday pathfinder, bombing,
night fighter, photo - reconnaissance sorties with great
precision and a far lower rate of losses than most other
aircraft. Combining 150 superb historical and present day
photographs with in depth and descriptive content, this
title is sure to be a hit amongst aviation enthusiasts
worldwide.

Mosquito at War Nos

First hand accounts and over 200 photographs
show the Mosquito at war...The Mosquito was a daring
concept. That an unarmed bomber constructed almost wholly of
wood and relying on pure speed, could evade the immensely
powerful air defences of Nazi Germany by night let alone by
day was completely against contemporary Air Force thinking
and war experienc. Te result was and an aircraft that became
one of the most successful Fighter and Bomber of WWII

Battlebags is the first book to record and describe in
detail every single airship built or used by Great Britain
during the First World War. The background to each class is
given together with details on individual airships,
including where they were built and stationed, their known
crews, plus technical information and particulars of notable
flights and total hours flown. The author, Ces Mowthorpe,
also describes the development of the airship in the years
leading up to the First World War and the part it was
destined to play in the years that followed

Who Destroyed
the Hindenburg Nos 74 (pg2 books)
In May of 1937 the great German zeppelin Hindenburg made
world-wide news by exploding just as it began to moor at
Lakehurst, New Jersey, after one of its frequent
Transatlantic flights. Luxuriously built, carrying 50
passengers in great comfort across the Atlantic in two days,
the big ship was the pride of Hitler's Third Reich. But its
flights were made under the constant threat of sabotage or
crank mischief in those tense, strife ridden days leading up
to the second World War. In fact the very fatal flight of
the Hindenburg that May was preceded by warning letters,
supernatural dreams of disaster by a German in Milwaukee,
and the belief on the part of the Gestapo someone was trying
to destroy the ship. The consequent explosion, the inquiry,
the possibilities of sabotage, and the whereabouts of the
survivors today are the close concern of the author.
Although an interesting book, its subject is of only
academic interest years later.

My Airship
Flights Nos 75 (pg2 books)
In the history of the airship no other flyer can have had a
richer record of experience than Captain Meager; his
association with them spans from the decision of the British
Admiralty in the early part of 1915 to build some small
airships to act as submarine scouts, right through to the
last flight of R.100 and to the tragedy involving R.101
which followed a month later in the autumn of 1930

The Mighty Eighth in Colour
Nos 78 (pg2 books)
A Good Book for any aviation enthusiasts who find 1942-45
one of the most dramatic and interesting periods of aviation
history, as this covers the US Air Force deployment and
operations in Europe in support of the Allied air war
effort. Enthusiasts crave every item of information from
this era, particularly photographic images.
Prized above all are the extremely rare but totally genuine
colour photographs of life in the Eighth Air Force. For the
air force veteran who lived through these exciting times and
'remembers in colour', most of the printed records he is
offered are reproduced in black and white and are thus
always slightly disappointing. Now, uniquely, these veterans
have access as never before to over 400 evocative colour
scenes of the years when the Eighth Air Force stationed its
men and aircraft in Britain. Here are the images of
personnel and weaponry on and off duty, with each and every
British base fully covered through authentic period colour
illustrations.
The job of collecting this wealth of magnificent colour
material has been the work of one man — the only one who
could have succeeded so completely. Roger Freeman has become
recognized internationally as the leading historian of the
Eighth Air Force and its time in Europe. His three Mighty
Eighth books and related titles have sold hundreds of
thousands of copies worldwide, and as a result he is widely
consulted by veterans groups, film and television companies
and fellow historians as the reliable source of information
on this subject.
The Mighty Eighth in Colour presents its subject in wholly
genuine colour for the first time ever and will delight
everyone who has an interest in this great period of wartime
history.

The German Airship Story
This is the story of the first air raids in history and of
the part played by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal
Naval Air Service in defeating its raiders. It is a
finely-told record of London under fire and of how a few
young daredevil airmen in primitive aeroplanes saved the
capital. Written with authority and fully documented, this
book gives the first complete picture, from the enemy side
as well as our own, of the epic duel between the huge
powered balloon, a lighter-than-air leviathan, and the
clumsy aircraft with pilots who fought from open cockpits.
