Soviet Rifleman 1941-45
ISBN: 9781846031274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of Soviet riflemen during the portion of World War II from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945, known as the Great Patriotic War. In the first four months of the war the The Red Army did not refer to its ground combat troops as "infantry" but as "rifle troops" (streltsi), dating back to the Czarist era when rifle units were considered more elite than rank-and-file infantry (pyekhoty). The Soviet rifleman initially suffered defeats and retreat during the early desperate days of the Great Patriotic War, then rallied to conduct a stubborn defense in the brutal winter of 1941/42,...

US Army Paratrooper in the Pacific Theater 1943-45
ISBN: 9781780961293 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From New Guinea to the Phillipines, American paratroopers fulfilled a vital role in the Pacific theater of World War II. The previous US Army Paratrooper 1941-45 only covers one aspect of the US Army experience of World War II as it is only limited to the Euoprean and Mediterranean theatres of war. Airborne units also proved important in the Pacific Theatre, where they encountered a very different environment. The two major Army units that operated in the Pacific - the 11th Airborne Division and the 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team (PRCT) launched small-scale operations on extremely...

ISBN: 9781849088015 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The bazooka was the popular name given to the innovative US rocket-propelled, man-portable antitank weapon that saw widespread service with US and other forces from 1942 to the early 1980s and was described by Eisenhower as one of the four "Tools of Victory" - with the atom bomb, the Jeep, and the C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft - that won World War II for the Allies. Most belligerents entering World War II armed their infantry with bulky and ineffectual antitank rifles as their primary means of combating tanks, but US planners realized that what infantrymen needed was a relatively...

US Army Air Force
ISBN: 9781855322950 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In June 1941 the US Army's air organisations were consolidated under a single command, the Army Air Forces or AAF. Its expansion was rapid and massive, and its contribution to the war effort was substantial. Books abound describing the AAF's impressive combat record, but little has been published to record what the men inside the machines wore to stay alive and effective in the air and on the ground, or, as often as not, in the water. Gordon L. Rottman's detailed treatment discusses the flying clothes, accessories and equipment worn and used by individual airmen fighting their often desperate...

When US combat units began arriving in Vietnam in mid-1965 they were initially based in coastal cities. Munitions and supplies were delivered by sea at ports to directly supply the newly arrived forces. It was not long before American units began to venture into the countryside to engage the VC in the areas they controlled. Many of these areas were well inland and forward bases had to be established. These bases had to be continuously supplied and required a great deal of tonnage. Supplies had to be transported overland from the coastal ports of Qui Nhon and Cam Ranh Bay at Bong Son, An Khe,...

ISBN: 9781841768182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines in detail the Japanese Infantryman who was, despite comparisons with the notorious German Waffen SS of World War II (1939-1945), an enigma to Westerners. Brutal in its treatment of prisoners as well as the inhabitants of the areas that it conquered, the Imperial Japanese Army also had exacting standards for its own men - strict codes of honor compelled Japanese soldiers to fight to the death against the more technologically advanced Allies. Identifying the ways in which the Japanese soldier differed from his Western counterpart, the author explores concepts such as Bushido,...

The US airborne units serving in the Pacific Theater during World War II are considered to be among the best-trained and effective forces in the war.
