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.

Kamikaze Japońskie bronie specjalnego przeznaczenia 1944-1945
ISBN: 9788365652317 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. 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...

Defense of Japan 1945
ISBN: 9781846036873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

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. The Marine tank battalions fought on small coral atolls such as Tarawa, in the fetid jungles of the south west Pacific including Guadalcanal, in the lush central Pacific islands of the Marianas such as Saipan and Guam, and on the volcanic deserts of the Bonin islands such as Iwo Jima. The tank equipment of the Marine Corps was essentially the same as that used by the US Army: the M3 and M5A1 light tanks, and the M4 Sherman medium tanks. But...

Czołgi japońskie 1939-1945
ISBN: 9788365652454 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Japońska armia w okresie przedwojennym używała czołgów w szerokim zakresie i ze sporymi sukcesami. Zainspirowany konstrukcjami europejskimi, nowatorski program konstrukcji czołgów ułatwił Japończykom prowadzenie kampanii w Chinach przed wybuchem wojny na Pacyfiku w grudniu 1941. Podczas późniejszych starć z Aliantami w początkowym stadium konfliktu, czołgi skierowano z dużą wyobraźnią do walki w terenie porośniętym dżunglą, wcześniej uważanym za niemożliwy do spenetrowania przez tego typu pojazdy. W ten sposób odegrały ważną rolę w kampanii na Malajach i...

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...

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...

Blending expert analysis, specially commissioned artwork and illustrative maps, this book tells the story of a quintessential example of Coastal attack and defense.

T-34/76 Medium Tank 1941-45
ISBN: 9781855323827 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The T-34 was the most influential tank design of World War 2. When first introduced into combat in the summer of 1941, it represented a revolutionary leap forward in tank design. Its firepower, armour protection and mobility were superior to that of any other medium tank of the period. This superiority did not last long. While the T-34 underwent a series of incremental improvements during 1943, it was being surpassed by new German tank designs, most notably the Panther. This title traces the life of the original T-34 through all its difficulties to eventual success.

ISBN: 9781849083782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Battle of France in 1940 involved the first large-scale tank-against-tank battles in history.

Operation Cobra 1944: Breakout from Normandy
ISBN: 9781841762968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the most decisive months of World War II (1939-1945) was the 30 days between 25 July and 25 August 1944. After the success of the D-Day landings, the Allied forces found themselves bogged down in a bloody stalemate in Normandy. On 25 July General Bradley launched Operation Cobra to break the deadlock. US forces punched a hole in the German frontline and began a spectacular advance. As Patton's Third Army poured into Brittany and raced south to the Loire, the German army was threatened with encirclement. By the end of August German forces in Normandy were utterly destroyed, and the...

Liberation of Paris 1944: Patton's Race for the Seine
ISBN: 9781846032462 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In July 1944 of World War II (1939-1945), Operation Cobra broke the stalemate in Normandy and sent the Allies racing across France. The Allied commanders ignored Paris in their planning for this campaign, considering that the risk of intense street fighting and heavy casualties outweighed the city's strategic importance. However, Charles de Gaulle persuaded the Allied commanders to take direct action to liberate his nation's capital. Steven J Zaloga first describes the operations of Patton's Third Army as it advanced towards Paris before focusing on the actions of the Resistance...

ISBN: 9781472801371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Allied airborne and amphibious landings in Normandy on D-Day on June 6, 1944, opened up the long-awaited Second Front against Nazi Germany, but after overcoming the German coastal defenses at Utah and "Bloody Omaha," the US Army found itself having to contest every hedgerow and street in a nightmarish battle of attrition. Even once Normandy had been secured for the Western Allies, the grueling battles on the Siegfried Line, the Ardennes, and elsewhere would test both sides to the limit before the Germans' unconditional surrender of May 1945. Featuring full-color artwork,... The Allied airborne and amphibious landings in Normandy on D-Day on June 6, 1944, opened up the long-awaited Second Front against Nazi Germany, but... |

The Atlantic Wall (2): Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway
ISBN: 9781846033933 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Germany's Atlantic Wall was the most ambitious military fortification program of World War II. Following its conquest of Western Europe, Germany had to defend some 5,000 kilometers of Atlantic coastline from the Spanish border to the Arctic Circle. The United States' entry into the war and the inevitability of an Anglo-American landing in Western Europe resulted in the fortification of this coastline along its entire length. Focusing on the northern Atlantic Wall in the Low Countries and Scandinavia, this title addresses the special defensive features and unique aspects of fortification in...

Modelling the US Army M4 (75mm) Sherman Medium Tank
ISBN: 9781841769653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Sherman tank was the principal US and Allied tank of World War II with more Shermans manufactured than all German tanks combined. Not only were large numbers manufactured, but there was a very wide range of variants powered by different types of engines, manufactured with different types of hulls, turrets and other details. As a result, a M4A1 tank from the Tunisian campaign in 1942 had nothing in common with a M4A3E8 tank from the 1945 campaign in Germany, even if they shared the same name. Consequently, the Sherman has proven to be an enormously popular modeling subject. Due to...

M551 Sheridan: Us Airmobile Tanks 1941-2001
ISBN: 9781846033919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the weaknesses of airmobile forces has always been their vulnerability to enemy armor. Since the 1940s, there have been numerous schemes to field light tanks that could be deployed by parachute or other methods to reinforce paratroopers and other airmobile forces. This book tells the story of the US experience with airmobile tanks, starting with efforts in World War II, notably the M22 Locust airmobile tank. Although not used in combat by the US Army, it was used during Operation Varsity in 1945 by British airborne forces and ended up supporting US paratroopers during this mission...

T-80 Standard Tank: The Soviet Army's Last Armored Champion
ISBN: 9781846032448 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Soviet T-80 Standard Tank was the last tank fielded before the Soviet collapse, and the most controversial. Like the US M1 Abrams tank, the T-80 used a turbine power plant rather than a conventional diesel. Although the design was blessed with some of the most sophisticated armament, fire controls, and multi-layer armor ever fielded on a Soviet tank, its power plant remained a source of considerable trouble through its career. It saw very little service in the Chechen War, though T-80 tanks were used in some of the regional conflicts in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s....
