ISBN: 9780806191584 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America

White imperialists are destined to rule the continent, and history is an irreversible march toward Indigenous destruction.

When America declared war on Germany in 1917, it unleashed a resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare off the North American coast.

Sr-71 Blackbird: Lockheed\'s Ultimate Spy Plane
ISBN: 9780764367083 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As of 2023, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest manned jet aircraft ever produced. It set the record in 1976 and has been retired since the late 1990s. With its unrivalled speed and stunning appearance, the Blackbird has maintained an almost supernatural mystique to this day. The type entered service in the 1960s as a high-altitude (and obviously extremely high speed) military reconnaissance aircraft. Just 32 were built, nearly half of which were written off in accidents. Nearly 300 images are packed into this latest entry in the Legends of Warfare series. This is a great gift for...
