British Fighter Units: Western Front 1917-18 КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ British Fighter Units: Western Front 1917-18 (Aircam Airwar 18)ByAlex RevellPublisher:Os Publishing1978 48PagesISBN: 0850452929PDF4 MBOn in September 1916, Sir Douglas Halg pointed out in a letter to the War Office the urgent necessity for a very early increase in the numbers and efficiency of the fighting aeroplanes at my disposal. The success of the RFC during the battles of the Somme that year, and the services of 'incalculable value' the corps had rendered the army, had firmly estab­lished the principle of the necessity of superiority in the air for the success of future battles, but Haig cautioned that the enemy had made 'extraordinary efforts to increase the number and efficiency of their aeroplanes' and that they had 'unfortunately succeeded'. This, he warned, would result in the RFC losing its superiority in the air unless more efficient fighter aeroplanes were supplied in quan­tity. He enumerated the weaknesses of the RFC's existing types, comparing all but the Nieuport. F.E.2b and Sopwith Pup unfavourably with the new German fighters—'all other fighting machines at my disposal are decidedly inferior'.sharingmatrixletitbit 0 Leer más…

British Fortifications in Zululand 1879 КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ British Fortifications in Zululand 1879 (Fortress 35)ByIan Knight, Adam HookPublisher:Os Publishing2005 64PagesISBN: 1841768294PDF32 MBThroughout the Anglo-Zulu wars, the British fortified almost every position they occupied in Zululand, from permanent column depots to temporary halts on the lines of communication. This book explores the extensive fortifications constructed around posts such as Eshowe, Fort Pearson and Fort Chelmsford, as well as the lives of the garrisons who manned these sites. These forts were built to defend against infantry attacks of overwhelming numbers, as opposed to artillery bombardment or mining, and the text, illustrations and photographs describe their distinctive style and construction. Field and temporary fortifications are also covered, making this a packed and informative reference work, and bringing new life to this popular subject. About the AuthorIan Knight is widely regarded as a leading intemational expert on the Anglo-Zulu War. He has written, co-written or edited over 30 books.

British Napoleonic Artillery 1793-1815 (2): Siege and Coastal Artillery КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ British Napoleonic Artillery 1793-1815 (2): Siege and Coastal Artillery (New Vanguard 65)ByChris Henry, Brian DelfPublisher:Os Publishing2003 48PagesISBN: 1841764779PDF11 MBFollowing on from the first volume covering British Napoleonic Artillery, this volume concentrates on the heavy weapons of siege and coastal defences. This book covers the main equipments used; the 24 pounder siege gun and a variety of mortars. Mortars varied from 4 or 5 inch versions up to a 13 inch calibre and were considered to be extremely effective because they used an exploding shell to destroy fortifications or personnel. Also covered in detail is the specialist bomb vessel, which was used to attack fortifications in a similar fashion; siege techniques; and the tactical use of siege and coastal artillery. About the AuthorChris Henry has been interested in military history since he was a small boy. His interest in artillery developed whilst a volunteer worker at the Tower of London and he became Senior Curator at the Royal Armouries Museum of Artillery At Fort Nelson.

This was mainly due to the fact that the Italian Air Force was a little bit slower than other air forces to adopt the monoplane, retracting under-carriage and enclosed cockpit concept. They considered that maneuverability was more important than speed and therefore stuck with the biplane. First flown in 1938, the Fiat CR.42 was still being used, though not as a front-line fighter, well into 1944.

The C-119C model had two 28 cylinder Pratt&Whitney four row radial R-4360 engines and it was distinguished from later types partly by its single wheel front undercarriage and different tail design. Production of the C-119C was speeded up when the Korean War broke out and these planes were soon being used for most of its transport missions. At the end of the war, a large number of the planes were supplied to the French, who used them widely in Indochina. Another less well-known but equally important role they played was to transport material for the construction of the DEW line radar stations in the far north of the American continent. Many examples of the C-119C were subsequently updated to meet the standards of later models.

The most visible change lies in the use of two 4700 HP Rolls-Royce (Allison) AE2100D3 engines, with six-blade composite-material propellers that ensure silent running and low fuel consumption. High performance features include an excellent rate of climb and an extended range of action thanks to the new engines. An equally important development is the avionics: the cockpit, in fact, is equipped with new digital instruments and a Head-Up Display that provides the pilot with a constant stream of data without him having to look away from the cockpit window. The C-130J is steadily becoming the standard transport aircraft in many NATO countries.

Dakota, Skytrain. Gooney Bird, Spooky, these are but a few of the many terms used to designate one of the world's most famous aircraft, the Douglas Commercial Transport. Technically it was designated DC-1. DC-2. or DC-3 as a civilian airliner type. But in the military it had no less than twenty-eight major variants. Thai's just counting the U.S. military types, without counting the many special types like gunships and electronic monitor­ing aircraft- The Douglas Commercial transport design, first brought forth during the early 1930s, has seen service with virtually every major nation on the planet, either as a civilian air­liner or military transport. Although referred to in many terms, both in praise and derogative-ly. the Douglas DC-3/C-47 design is universally accepted as the plane that changed the world! sharingmatrixletitbit 0 Leer más…

;Confucianism. World Religions КНИГИ ; КУЛЬТУРА и ИСКУССТВО Автор:Dorothy Hoobler, Thomas Hoobler Название: Confucianism. World ReligionsИздательство: Chelsea House PublicationsГод: 2009 Формат: pdf Размер: 5,89 MB Язык: английский Для сайта: www.mirknig.comLong dismissed as irrelevant by communist China, Confucianism is experiencing a new resurgence in China and around the globe. So-called New Confucianists seek to find a unity between their religion and the modern world, rejecting any form of cultural isolationism. Founded in China 2,500 years ago by a master philosopher,Confucianism was a system of ethical behavior and social responsibility that evolved into one of the great spiritual traditions of the East. It has played a profoundly important role in the evolution of Chinese civilization over the centuries and has had a marked influence on other Asian cultures including those of Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. "Confucianism, Third Edition" clearly outlines the historical development of Confucianism, presents the basic tenets of Confucian thought, traces its evolution in response to the events of Chinese history, and examines its enduring relevance to the contemporary world. Coverage includes: basic concepts and beliefs ofConfucianism ; the teachings of Confucius; Confucian literature, including The Five Classics; the effects of political interference from China, Europe, and the United States; and restoration ofConfucianism in the 21st century.0 Leer más…
