Bukanierzy
ISBN: 9788365746887 / Polski / Miękka / 2017 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Zanim nastała era wielkich piratów w XVIII w., na Karaibach grasowali jeszcze bardziej bezlitośni łupieżcy, których czasy ochrzczono mianem „Ery Bukanierów”. Przez ponad 50 lat, angielscy, francuscy i niderlandzcy bukanierzy organizowali wyniszczające ataki na hiszpańskie miasta, porty i okręty. Znani bukanierzy, pokroju Henry’ego Morgana, przeprowadzali swe najazdy pod protekcją korony angielskiej, a w 1697 r. armia francuska skorzystała nawet z pomocy bukanierów podczas zdobywania słynnej hiszpańskiej Cartageny.

This detailed technical guide to the gunboats of all the major navies of the war means that, for the first time, the story can be told. Naval action in World War I conjures up images of enormous dreadnoughts slugging it out in vast oceans. Yet the truth is that more sailors were killed serving on gunboats and monitors operating far from the naval epicentre of the war than were ever killed at Jutland. Gunboat engagements during this war were... From the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, from the Balkans to Mesopotamia, gunboats played an influential part in the story of World War I. This det... |

During World War I these dreadnoughts formed the backbone of the British Grand Fleet. In May 1916, these battleships put to sea to intercept their counterparts in the German High Seas fleet. The...

Taranto 1940: The Fleet Air Arm S Precursor to Pearl Harbor
ISBN: 9781472808967 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Royal Navy's stunning attack on Taranto in 1940 heralded a new age of warfare. It was the decisive moment in a struggle for dominance of the Mediterranean that had gone on for months, as the British and Italian navies both looked to secure maritime supply routes for their colonies. With the enormous demands of a global war beginning to tell, the British capital ships were simply too thinly spread for a large fleet action against Taranto, where the bulk of the Italian fleet lay menacingly. How was the Royal Navy to eliminate the threat of the Regia Marina? This is the story of one... The Royal Navy's stunning attack on Taranto in 1940 heralded a new age of warfare.

In mid-September 1943, as the opening move of the Allied campaign to liberate the mainland of Italy, an Anglo-American invasion force landed on the beaches of the Gulf of Salerno, only a few dozen miles to the south of Naples.

The Germans had seized control of the Italian-built beach defences, and were ready and waiting. What followed was one of the bloodiest battles of the whole Mediterranean campaign - a ten day contest where victory hung in the balance....
