US Marine Corps Tanks of World War II
ISBN: 9781849085601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The US Marine Corps formed six tank battalions in World War II which saw combat in some of the most varied and extreme conditions of the Pacific theater.

Gustaf Mannerheim
ISBN: 9781472814425 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim is a legendary figure, whose life and career were deeply influential in Finnish and European history. He is viewed by many as the father of modern Finland after leading the 'White' faction to victory and independence in the Finnish Civil War of 1918. That conflict preceded a sequence of bitter clashes between Finland, Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany in the buildup to, and during, World War II: The Winter War in 1940, the Continuation War and the Lapland War in 1944-45. Throughout these fierce clashes in the ice and snow, Mannerheim managed his forces with great...

US Amphibious Tanks of World War II
ISBN: 9781849086363 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The advent of combined arms operations in World War II created the need for specialized armored vehicles. In the case of amphibious attacks, the issue arose of how best to land tanks on a beach. Although a variety of specialized landing craft were developed, the Dieppe raid in 1942 encouraged the development of tanks that could be deployed from further off-shore to limit the vulnerability of the LCT craft. The deep-wading equipment that they developed was first used during Operation Husky on Sicily in July 1943, and subsequently for Operations Avalanche (Salerno, September 1943), Shingle...

Zniszczenie większości resztek japońskiej Połączonej Floty i jej lotnictwa w drugiej połowie 1944 pozostawiło japońskie Wyspy Macierzyste narażone na ataki okrętów i sił powietrznych USA. W desperacji Japońska Flota Imperialna zaproponowała użycie formacji „specjalnego przeznaczenia”, lub inaczej – do przeprowadzania ataków samobójczych. Początkowo obejmowały one prymitywnie przystosowane konwencjonalne samoloty zaopatrzone w ciężkie bomby, mogące rozbić się o pokłady amerykańskich okrętów. Nazywane „Boski Wiatr” (Kamikaze), formacje „ataków...

Amtracs : US Amphibious Assault Vehicles
ISBN: 9781855328501 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first prototype for the LVT (Landing Vehicle Tracked) was completed in July 1941, its design based on the Alligator, a tracked amphibious vehicle developed for rescue operations in the swamps of Florida. Though the early conception of amtrac operations envisioned using LVTs solely as supply vehicles, at Tarawa amtracs demonstrated their utility as assault vehicles to carry troops, leading to the development of new models. This book covers the evolution of amtracs, from the first LVT-1 to the LVT-7; their numerous variants; and their use throughout World War II and beyond.

Pierwsza z dwóch książek dotyczących francuskiej broni pancernej w latach drugiej wojny światowej. W niniejszym tytule Autor dokonuje przeglądu czołgów piechoty i czołgów uderzeniowych, które stawiły czoła niemieckiemu Blitzkriegowi roku 1940. Wiele spośród francuskich czołgów miało zastąpić pamiętające lata Wielkiej Wojny wozy Renault FT, a rozmaite prace projektowe prowadzone w okresie międzywojennym doprowadziły do powstania nowych konstrukcji czołgów piechoty takich jak Renault R35 i R40, FCM 36 czy też Hotchkiss H35 oraz H39. Równocześnie trwały prace nad...

In 1945, with her fleet destroyed and her armies beaten, the only thing that stood between Japan and an Allied invasion was the numerous coastal defence positions that surrounded the islands. This is the first book to take a detailed look at the Japanese home island fortifications that were constructed during 1941-45. Utilizing diagrams, specially commissioned artwork, and sources previously unavailable in English, Steven Zaloga examines these defences in the context of a possible Allied invasion, constructing various arguments for one of the greatest 'what if' scenarios of World War II, and...

ISBN: 9781846039904 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A hotly-debated topic amongst tank buffs is of the relative merits of the Soviet and American tanks of World War II.

M3 & M5 Stuart Light Tank 1940 45
ISBN: 9781855329119 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The M3 and M5 family of light tanks were the culmination of American tank development of the 1930s. By the time of the outbreak of the World War II, they were approaching obsolescence, as tank forces in Europe were shifting from light to medium tanks as the main element of their armored forces. First entering combat in the autumn of 1941 in the Western Desert with the British Army, the Stuart quickly proved its inadequacies. The M3 and M5 light tanks proved more suitable in the Pacific theater than in Europe, and fought successfully in many of the major battles including Guadalcanal, Tarawa...

Early US Armor: Tanks 1916-40
ISBN: 9781472818072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between the two world wars, the United States contributed significantly to the evolution of the tank, a weapon invented by the British and the French seeking to break through the lines of German trenches. From the employment of the French Renault FT and British Mark V during their involvement in World War I, the United States branched out with its own indigenous designs, including the M1 Cavalry Car and the M2 Light and Medium tanks, the precursors to the Stuart and Grant tanks of World War II. Tank designers in this period faced unique challenges, and the story of early American armor is...

M24 Chaffee Light Tank 1943-85
ISBN: 9781841765402 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The history of US light tanks during World War II is a chequered one. The Light Battalions of US Armored Divisions were initially filled with M3A1 and M5 Stuart tanks, however, on the battlefields of North Africa it was realised that these were disastrously under armoured and gunned, and a replacement, or the abandonment of light tank doctrine, was desperately needed. It wasn't until the last few months of WWII that the M24 Chaffee came into service and it was extensively used in combat from the Battle of the Bulge to the final campaigns in Germany. This book will trace the history of this...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Robotic Air Warfare 1917-2007
ISBN: 9781846032431 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the most dynamic field of aerospace technology, and potentially the harbingers of new aviation technology and tactics. They have only emerged from the shadows in recent years, but in fact have been in use for decades. After some limited use in World War II, UAVs began to emerge as a substitute for manned reconnaissance aircraft in the 1950s for missions deemed too dangerous to risk an aircrew. Used in significant numbers in the Vietnam War as well as less-heralded missions such as spy flights over China in the 1950s and 1960s, the contemporary UAV began...

Omar Bradley
ISBN: 9781849086608 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. General Omar Bradley was the premier US Army tactical commander in the European Theater of Operations in 1944-45. A West Point classmate of Dwight Eisenhower, Bradley was the quintessential US field commander of World War II, elevated to high command with little combat experience but a solid track record as a skilled planner and organizer. Bradley was part of a small cadre of highly skilled young officers groomed for higher command in the austere and bankrupt 1930s. Bradley began World War II in creating the new 82nd Division which would go on to fame as one of the US Army's premier...
