Wydawnictwo STRATUS, Artur Juszczak Bookazine Collection 2
Book SynopsisWorking on this series has become a trip down memory lane, reviewing my own work from five, ten and even as far back as twenty years ago or more. It has also been necessary at times to revamp such work as new and more detailed information has become available since it was created. This gives added value to what is presented here as it is definitely not a cut-and paste job, even though that is what it originally was intended to be. This second volume follows closely the pattern laid out in the first: subjects from World War One, Inter-Wars, World War Two and the post war jet era. The choice fell on popular subjects, and some not as well known. A case in point is the Morane N monoplane which however offers some unusual markings. More flamboyant are the Nieuports of the American Expeditionary Corps, 1st Pursuit Group, made legendary by that top American ace, 1st Lt Edward V. Rickenbacker of 94th Aero Squadron. Two unusual features included in this issue cover the DeHavilland DH.88s and their participation in the MacRobertson Centenary Air Race from Mildenhall to Melbourne of 1934. The Hart is another inter-war subject, an aircraft that sired Hawker's silver wings' family of the 1930s. Anti-Camouflage' is dedicated to Switzerland's use of the Messerschmitt Bf.109D-Es as guardians of its neutrality. The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien is our World War Two feature followed by a close look at the early versions of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier. The diminutive AMX is illustrated in its several styles of colours and markings, in both Italian and Brazilian air forces' service.

Kagero Oficyna Wydawnicza Messerschmitt Bf 110 Vol. II
Book SynopsisThe Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a typical working horse of the German Luftwaffe. It was used for a variety of tasks, although it was designed strictly as a heavy fighter (in this role, however, did not meet all the hopes placed in it). Dozens of developed versions of this aircraft prove that it was a successful and flexible construction when it comes to the used armament, propulsion and equipment.Trade ReviewA useful addition to any Luftwaffe library * Guideline Publications 21/01/2019 *Whilst primarily intended for the model-maker, any Luftwaffe enthusiast will be pleased to see this book, a great source on this type of aircraft and its variants. Highly recommended. * Scale Military Modelling International Magazine 19/12/2018 *

Viking Ship Museum Viking Age War Fleets: Shipbuilding, resource
Book SynopsisThe military operations of Scandinavian societies in the Viking Age depended on their ships. Different types of ships were used in order to transport troops and war supplies. Some ships were designed to conduct the speedy transport of large numbers of troops, while others were specialised cargo vessels used in military operations as carriers of supplies and sometimes troops as well. This book examines the building and use of ships for warfare in 11th century Denmark. The subjects are addressed through detailed analyses of aspects such as resources, organisational structures and naval warfare. The outcomes are a more informed understanding of 11th century Scandinavian military organisation, shipbuilding and resource management.Trade ReviewThis study reveals, by careful research and analysis based largely on reconstructive archaeology, the full implications of creating, maintaining, and operating war-fleets during the Viking era... The argument is detailed, and might have been tedious had not skilful use been made of tabulated data to lighten and clarify the text. As a result it is a rewarding read with a thought-provoking message, with the tables readily to hand for those who wish to delve more deeply into the evidence. There are two appendices, a glossary, extensive footnotes, and a very full bibliography. * International Journal of Nautical Archaeology *

City University of Hong Kong Press Transport to Another World: HMS Tamar and the
Book SynopsisMementoes of HMS Tamar abound in Hong Kong, but what is really known about this troopship and her role in the maintenance of British imperial rule? Using logbooks, newspapers, and numerous other sources, this book pieces together the multifaceted and largely unknown history of the Tamar. From her launch into service to her roles as a hospital, theatre stage, and transport for military personnel, the Tamar carried not just people, but also their mundane dreams and ambitions - for friends, families, and staying alive. Any ideas or concerns about sustaining the empire seldom featured in their minds at all, but it was this empire that the Tamar served for seventy-nine years, steaming the equivalent of thirty-two times around the Earth and transporting tens of thousands of people to what would seem to them another world.In this engaging narrative, the Tamar's exploits and the experiences of her crew and passengers parallel those of the British Empire and its subjects, bringing to life the realities of imperial life on land and at sea. As mud continues to settle over the Tamar's forgotten remains in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, Transport to Another World will appeal to historians and readers interested in maritime history and colonial Hong Kong in general, and makes a case for conserving the memory of a past some would prefer to forget.Table of Contents Prologue: All Valiant Dust that Builds on Dust Part I: Far-called, Our Navies Part II: Drunk with Sight of Power Part Ill: On Dune and Headland Sinks the Fire Part IV: Still Stands Thine Ancient Sacrifice Epilogue: All Our Pomp of Yesterday

NUS Press Nemesis: The First Iron Warship and Her World
Book SynopsisThe Nemesis was the first of a generation of iron-clad, steam-powered naval vessels that established British dominance in Asian waters in the 19th century. The world’s first iron warship, the first vessel with truly watertight compartments, and the first iron vessel to round the Cape of Good Hope, Nemesis represented a staggering new level of military superiority over the oar- and sail-powered forces of Britain’s Asian rivals. With a shallow draft suited to riverine operations, and flexible armaments, she originated “gunboat diplomacy” in operations during the First Opium War.While her importance is recognized in the military history literature, the Nemesis’ story has not been told to modern audiences. This lively narrative creates a vivid sense of life aboard the ship, and the challenges of the new technology for her captains and crew. The book places Nemesis in the historical context of the last years of the East India Company, and in the history of steam power and of iron ships. It tells of her exploits in the First Opium War, upriver in James Brooke’s Sarawak, in pirate suppression and naval actions across Asia, from Burma to Bombay to the Yangtze River and beyond.
