ISBN: 9781846030925 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of African Americans who participated in the American Civil War (1861-1865). Approximately 200,000 African Americans fought for the Union during the Civil War. Initially, many white soldiers doubted their bravery and skill; they were soon proved wrong. The Civil War battlefields bore witness to countless acts of courage from the United States Colored Troops, most famously the battle of Fort Wagner where the 54th Massachusetts marched forth and scaled the parapets, only to be driven back in fierce hand-to-hand combat, and the battle of Honey Springs where lines of...

Lotniskowce i okręty-bazy wodnosamolotów I WŚ
ISBN: 9788365652928 / Polski / Twarda / 2016 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. W 1910 r., kiedy dwupłatowiec po raz pierwszy udanie wzbił się w powietrze ze stojącego okrętu, mało kto mógł sobie wyobrażać, że lotniskowce będą władcami mórz przez większość rozpoczynającego się wieku. Jednak tempo ich rozwoju było bardzo dynamiczne. Zaledwie cztery lata później japoński okręt-baza wodnosamolotów przeprowadził pierwszy w historii nalot z morza, a w 1916 r., podczas bitwy jutlandzkiej, lotnictwo pokładowe po raz pierwszy wzięło udział w działaniach floty.

Ships of the American Revolutionary Navy
ISBN: 9781846034459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this title, Mark Lardas explores the origins of American warships, primarily light and medium frigates, built for the Continental Navy during the years 1776-1783. This was the first navy of the United States and much of the fleet was comprised of ships that had been modified from existing vessels, converted into warships to provide a crucial service during the American Revolutionary War. Despite having no real funding, this unique fleet had a surprising amount of success against the might of the Royal Navy, and this title discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each design, and the...

Constitution Vs Guerriere: Frigates During the War of 1812
ISBN: 9781846034343 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Famed as a classic naval duel, the clash between two sailing frigates of the nineteenth century affords its victor immeasurable fame and glory. During the War of 1812, the Royal Navy and United States Navy squared off in a number of such duels, the most famous between the USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere. Tactics between the two nations varied enormously, with the American Navy favoring twenty-four pound guns, heavy carronades, and larger crews, while the British tended to equip its frigates with eighteen-pound guns and smaller, more economical crews. Through first-hand accounts of officers...

Texas Shipwrecks
ISBN: 9781531697990 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Texas coastline and offshore waters are flat, shallow, featureless, and filled with shoals. Texas waters are subjected to extreme weather, not just hurricanes and tropical storms but also northers and seasonal gales. This, combined with two centuries of naval warfare off Texas waters, produced many shipwrecks of all sorts, from Spanish treasure fleets to simple working boats. The ships of pirates, navies, cotton traders, immigrants, fishermen, and oil shippers line the Texas coast, cover the sea bottom off Texas, and blanket the bottom of Texas rivers. Each wreck has a story, romantic or...

Bonhomme Richard vs Serapis: Flamborough Head 1779
ISBN: 9781849087858 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The clash between the American Bonhomme Richard and the British HMS Serapis during the American Revolutionary War is perhaps the most famous single-ship duel in history. This epic battle between two very similar ships - and crews - off the coast of Britain in September 1779 created two naval heroes: in victory John Paul Jones became a figure that all future American naval officers would aspire to emulate, while Richard Pearson, in defeat, became a hero to the British for a tenacious defense that allowed the merchant vessels under his protection to escape. In September 1779 five... The clash between the American Bonhomme Richard and the British HMS Serapis during the American Revolutionary War is perhaps the most famous single... |

British Frigate vs French Frigate: 1793-1814
ISBN: 9781780961323 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the Age of Fighting Sail (1650-1820), ambitious officers of the navies of many nations sought command of a frigate. Speedy, nimble and formidably armed, frigates often operated independently, unlike the larger ships of the line. Legendary sailors such as Edward Pellew and Charles-Alexandre Leon Durand, Comte de Linoise, found that commanding such a ship offered numerous opportunities for wealth - in the form of prize money paid out for captured enemy vessels - and, even more importantly, prestige and promotion for captains who prevailed in the numerous single-ship duels that characterized...

American Light and Medium Frigates, 1794-1836
ISBN: 9781846032660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The "Original Six" frigates were commissioned by the new-born US Navy at a staggering cost of $688,888.82. Designed to be light and fast, these warships enabled America to project its power across the globe. Among the ships Mark Lardas examines is USS Constellation: the first ship to be commissioned by the United States Navy, and also the first ship to engage and capture an enemy vessel, the French L'Insurgente - this engagement is vividly portrayed in original color artwork. The fascinating history of the USS Chesapeake is also brought to life through the dramatic account one of the...
