Histoire et Collections Cinquante Avions Clbres 50 Famous Planes of WWII
Book SynopsisThe fifty planes which make up this book all marked the Second World War in one way or another. They have been photographed at the air shows were they still fly, maintained in flying condition by associations or by wealthy amateurs at great expense and at the price of constant effort. The pilots who take to the air in these planes today are experienced people and it mustn't be forgotten that the pilots were only on average 22 or 23 years old at the time. The author has therefore become attached as much to the men as to the machines.Among the famous planes in the book there are the SupermarineSpitfire', Junkers Ju 52, Polikarpov I-16, Hawker Hurricane', Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Bell P-39 Airacobra', Grumann F6F Hellcat, Republic P-47 Thunderbolt', Focke Wulf FW 190, Yakovlev Yak 3, Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk', North American P-51 Mustang' and Mistubishi A6M Zero', etc.

Editions Heimdal Le Carrousel Des Panzers
Book SynopsisIn May 1940, during the Battle of France, the British Expeditionary Force in France aiding the French, was cut off from the rest of the French Army by the German advance. Encircled by the Germans they retreated to the area around the port of Dunkirk. The German land forces could have easily destroyed the British Expeditionary Force, especially when many of the British troops, in their haste to withdraw, had left behind their heavy equipment. This lull in the action gave the British a few days to evacuate by sea. Winston Churchill ordered any ship or boat available, large or small, to pick up the stranded soldiers, and 338,226 men (including 123,000 French soldiers) were evacuated– the miracle of Dunkirk, as Churchill called it. It took over 900 vessels to evacuate the Allied forces. More than 40,000 vehicles as well as massive amounts of other military equipment and supplies were left behind; their value being less than that of trained fighting men. After the success of Corridor des Panzers and Zur Kuste, this new volume takes us directly into the Dunkirk arena, and concludes the suite of works on this dramatic period of history. Jean-Yves Mary has also provided modern photos of the battlefields, in comparison with the original images, allowing us to locate the areas where the events took place.Trade Reviewa highly detailed record of the daily events during the German invasion of France in 1940, and illustrated with so many photos from the period which provide an invaluable reference source for modellers and historians alike. * Military Model Scene 02/12/2015 *

Editions Heimdal France 1940: Les Panzers

Any avid modeller, keen tank enthusiast or general historian will find this an invaluable resource. French Language

Editions Heimdal Histoire SecrèTe De La 101st Airborne Division
Book SynopsisThese are stories that are not openly discussed by combat veterans and are usually only whispered between individuals at military reunions. The tales range from sad to hilarious, from surprising to horrible, but they are real. These are not the creations of a screenwriter or some novelist's pipe dreams, they are actual events, that had a lifelong impact on the soldiers who experienced them. Such a collection could only have resulted from 35 years of researcher on the 101st Airborne Division, which entailed interviews with almost 1000 veterans who wore the "screaming eagle" patch in WW2. This book is widely illustrated with photos of the time, but also places, objects, and equipment of the paratroopers of the 101st.

Editions Heimdal Vought F4u Corsair
Book SynopsisConstruit à plus de 12 000 exemplaires dans six versions principales, utilisé par certaines forces aériennes jusque dans les années 1970, mais surtout avion emblématique de la guerre du Pacifique et véritable vedette du petit écran, le Chance Vought F4U Corsair est assurément l’un des avions les plus célèbres de l’histoire de l’Aviation. Immédiatement reconnaissable à sa voilure en « ailes de mouette », configuration imposée par son hélice de très grand diamètre, le Corsair, après des débuts difficiles, fut l’un des artisans du succès de l’aéronavale américaine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, y gagnant au passage son surnom de « mort sifflante », en raison du bruit engendré par son moteur et sa voilure lors des attaques. Faute d’un successeur disponible et efficace, il reprit aillamment du service lors de la guerre de Corée au cours de laquelle il effectua près de 80% des missions d’attaque au sol. Si les États Unis furent les principaux utilisateurs du F4U, la Fleet Air Arm britannique l’utilisa dès le Second Conflit mondial, y compris sur le théâtre d’opérations européen, tandis que la France, pour laquelle une version spécifique fut fabriquée par Vought, ne retira du service ses derniers Corsair qu’au début des années 1960, après les avoir utilisés au combat en Algérie et à Suez.Trade ReviewThose like me who do not read or speak French need not worry as the book is almost entirely pictorial with the only text being captions and some text introducing each section. But if you like the Corsair, especially if you are a scale modeller and have the funds, then this book might prove irresistible! * The Catalina News *

Editions Heimdal U-110: Le KapitäNleuntnant Fritz Lemp Et La
Book SynopsisThanks to albums belonging to one of the sailors aboard U-30 and then U-110, the author has been able to reconstruct the path taken by Kapitänleutnant Fritz Lemp and his crew, including the sailor Willi Brohm, and the fate of these submarines, with texts and also pictures. We begin the story with the sailor’s enrolment in 1936 at Cuxhaven, then aboard U-30. Then we take a look at a little-known page of history : the engagement of U-Boots in the Spanish Civil War, after 1937, with photos taken at Cadiz, Seville, Ceuta, Tetuan and the Canary Islands. It was then the beginning of the war with a good report on the U-30 under Captain Lemp. Aboard this submarine, Lemp carried off a series of successes (17 kills) which earned him the Ritterkreuz which he received on 14 August 1940, one of the first awarded to the U-Boot arm. His first engagement and success however were marred by a tragic mistake when he sank the liner Athena causing the death of civilians, including 22 Americans. He was then transferred aboard U-110 whose second patrol ended in tragedy. The submarine was attacked on 9 May 1941 in the North Atlantic. The U-boot was damaged and surfaced; most of the crew evacuated it including the sailor Willi Brohm. Captain Lemp remained aboard, probably intending to scuttle U-110, but British sailors from HMS Bulldog had time to get hold of the Enigma machine the submarine used, which had a considerable effect on the outcome of the war. Fritz Lemp disappeared with his submarine in the waters of the Atlantic. As for Willi Brohm, we follow him into captivity to Canada, with very rare and exceptional photos. A fantastic, historic album gathering together more than 200 photos and documents of which 160 photos from our own archives ; various documents are unpublished. Text in French.

Book SynopsisAlthough less famous and less mediatised than the fighter units, the bomber and transport units, together with the training units, make up just as important a section of the Armée de l’Air. The various units (squadrons, groups and flights) are reviewed in this volume in chronological order, showing a variety of bomber types, transport, liaison and training aircraft used by French military aviation from 1945 to the present day, from the unavoidable Mirage IVs of the Strategic Air Forces and their Boeing C-135 tankers to the official Airbus transports.

Editions Heimdal Les Trains BlindéS: De 1825 à Nos Jours
Book SynopsisColonel de l’armée française en retraite, Paul Malmassari avait déjà publié, au début des années 1990, aux éditions Heimdal, un ouvrage de référence sur le sujet des trains blindés, en général peu traité. Spécialiste indiscutable en la matière, l’auteur propose cette fois-ci une approche nouvelle, très différente, de l’histoire de ces géants d’acier dépendants des chemins de fer. Des origines à nos jours, les trains blindés de plus de soixante États sont expliqués. Ceux de la Russie, où ils ont joué un rôle important, entre autre dans la guerre civile de 1917- 1922; ceux de l’Allemagne - les Panzerzüge - et de la France durant les deux guerres mondiales, sont aussi décrits. Mais les trains blindés ont une histoire sur les quatre continents, y compris dans des pays dont on ne soupçonnerait pas qu’ils aient pu en être dotés. Le travail colossal, encyclopédique, de plus de 520 pages, fait de cet ouvrage un outil indispensable pour tout lecteur amateur ou néophyte, intéressé ou passionné, par ce domaine militaire très spécifique. Il est richement illustré de photographies, de gravures, de schémas descriptifs. Sa particularité est d’allier une précision technique incontestable à des explications des temps historiques dans lesquels ces «monstres du rail» sont intervenus.

Wydawnictwo STRATUS, Artur Juszczak Bulgarian Fighter Colours 1919-1948: Volume 1
Book SynopsisBulgaria is arguably the historically most underrated Axis ally that actually fought the Allies during World War 2. Despite remaining outside the main battleground of the war, the Eastern Front, this Balkan country did take its fair share of warfare, particularly due to the combat activity of its fighter air force against the armada of US bombers and their fighter escorts, in 1943 and 1944. Then, following an about-face in early September 1944, the Bulgarians combatted their former ally, the Germans. This notable air activity is largely unknown outside Bulgaria, and is not very much popularized even within the country, despite fully deserving the utmost attention.This two-volume book describes and illustrates all the fighter and fighter trainer aircraft used by the Bulgarian armed forces before, during, and shortly after WW 2. These aircraft were procured from the following countries: Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Emphasis is placed on the most potent German fighter types, the Messerschmitt Bf 109E and G, as well as the top-notch fighter type of France, the Dewoitine D.520. However, rare, exotic models, including the sole locally built prototype that fits the definition, the DAR-5, are also included.The camouflage and markings, as well as the military coding system of these large variety of aircraft types are described in great details. Fully illustrated with many rare photos, most of them seen for the first time in print. Mutinously detailed colour profiles of many representative aircraft type are included as well.Summing up, this lavishly illustrated, full-colour two-volume book, spanning across over 600 pages, is the reference work of the fighter and fighter trainer aircraft, as well as the pilots who flew for the Royal Bulgarian Air Force prior to, during, and shortly after World War 2.

Book SynopsisSuzutsuki was the third ship from the series of the most powerful Akizuka destroyers, designed specifically as anti-aircraft defenseships, whose main armament consisted of 8 universal 100 mm caliber guns with excellent ballistic characteristics. The Akizuki destroyers were designed before the beginning of World War II as anti-aircraft ships for fast Japanese groups of aircraft carriers. They were completely different from the previous Japanese destroyers, in which the emphasis was put on strong artillery (127 mm guns) and torpedo armament. They were inspired by the British Dido class light anti-aircraft cruisers, however, in contrast with them, the Akizuki destroyers were medium size ships intended for anti-aircraft defense of groups of fleet.Trade Review...full of worthwhile source material for those looking to detail and enhance their model. * Model Shipwrights 21/12/2022 *This book is intensely focused on modeler’s needs for building this ship in any scale.

Kagero Oficyna Wydawnicza Curtiss P-40 B, C, D, E
Book SynopsisThe decision to start the production of the Curtiss P-40 fighter was made primarily due to the relatively low airframe price and the possibility of launching it almost immediately (based on Curtiss P-36s ready fuselages). The P-40 did not have a turbocharger, but despite this the requirements were constantly increasing, especially when it comes to the maximum speed. It was requested to raise it by over 100 km/h (up to 580 km/h). It required a number of construction changes e.g. new exhaust pipes, new shape and size of the air intake to the carburetor at the top of the engine cover, moving forward the coolers under the nose. After the tests in the NACA wind tunnel it turned out that these changes were not enough. The plane underwent further aerodynamic refinements, using, among others, smooth riveting and retractable tail ring.
