The LVG B.I КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ The LVG B.I (Windsock Datafile 98)By Peter M. GroszPublisher: Albatros Productions Ltd200335 PagesISBN: 190220753XPDF32 MBIn August 1914 the strength of the German FJiegerfruppe was vested in a triad of Iwihsc'tl biplanes manufactured by Albatros. Aviatik and LVG. These machines were characterized by a nigged airframe with ample room for the pilot and observer, photographic equipment and a modest bomb load plus sufficient fuel capacity lor extended time aloft -regarded a valuable asset for army reconnaissance work. As such these versatile B-type biplanes totally eclipsed Ihedefunci and torpid Tiiubn monoplanes that the Fliegertruppe had been lorced to use in the war's early months owing to the unexpectedly high combat wastage and slow pace of aircraft replacement.Numerically the most important of the three types when hostilities com­menced was the LVG B.I biplane designed by chief engineer Franz Schneider, a Swiss citizen who had cut his teeth as an aircraft designer for Edouard Mcuport in France.' Born in Swlt?erland in 1871, Schneider, after attending a public sch(X>l, apprenticed in the field of fine mechanics and electro-technology and joined the Siemens works in Nurnberg where he developed lighting devices, measuring instruments, small electromotors and dynamos.BitroadDepositfiles 0 Leer más…

ElliottИздательство: Monogram Aviation PublicationsISBN: 0914144324Год: 1989Страниц: 194Формат: PDF в RARРазмер: 35.61МБЯзык: английскийIn this second volume of a four-volume set, Mr. Elliott continues his presentation of the US Navy and Marine Corps aircraft colors and markings during the decade of the 1940s. From the opening of the decade with its still colorful approach to aircraft recognition, to the close of the 40s with its more somber wartime color schemes, the author brings to the reader fresh information, photographs and illustrations. The various combatants in this world-wide struggle sought paint and protection solutions which would prolong the combat life of their aircraft while at the same time also sought to devise markings by which friendly forces could be recognized form those of the enemy.The US Navy and Marine Corps aircraft of the period certainly reflected these goals. Complex, yet effective approaches to the problem have been set forth by the author who meticulously documents each change in painting and aircraft marking, giving us new insight into this fascinating period of aircraft history. 324 photographs, 57 colour photos, 21 colour artwork and 48 unit insignia, 28 paint chips.Скачать: DepositfilesUploading Hotfile 0 Leer más…

ElliottPublisher:Monogram Aviation Pub1994 203 PagesISBN: 0914144340PDF54 MBThirty years ago I saw the following quotation in the book The Eye of the Wind by Peter Scott. "Stories which I have been telling for years with great conviction, believing them to be true to the smallest detail, have proved after careful research among my papers to be greatly garbled. Such stories can be corrected, but what of the most of other reminiscences of which no contemporary record remains? Must I water them down in the sacred name of truth, or can the reader be trusted to apply the "Scott Reduction Index" — an arbitrary figure between twenty and fifty percent by which all lengths, breadths, weights, distances and vehement statements should automatically be reduced?"This has been a guiding principle in the compilation of these four volumes, so that the reader can be sure that what is pre­sented is factual and not the product of numerous "Sea Sto­ries," but a text book to be relied on as to how the Navy and Marine Corps intended their aircraft to be painted. I trust you will find this to be so. sharingmatrix uploading 85 Leer más…

While other special forces trace their origins to World War I, the Royal Marines date back to 1664. Since then, they have seen action across the world, from their memorable role in the capture of Gibralter in 1704 to their crucial involvement in World Wars I and II. This book examines the Royal Marines' service and training from the Suez Crisis of 1956, through to their involvement in Northern Ireland and the Falklands in the 1980s. Numerous illustrations, including photographs and colour plates, detail the uniforms and equipment of the Marines. 85 Leer más…

Haythornthwaite, Bryan FosterPublisher:Os Publishing1992 48PagesISBN: 0850457467PDF22 MBDuring the Napoleonic era, Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry, forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies. This stemmed partly from their service against the Turks, who had huge numbers of troops, and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 185 examines the organisation, tactics and uniforms of the Russian cavalry during this dynamic and turbulent period, covering Cuirassiers, Dragoons, Hussars, Uhlans, Mounted Jägers and the Lifeguard, as well as the Opolchenie militia and Cossacks.UploadingDepositfiles 85 Leer más…

Год: 1899 Язык: EnglishСтраниц: 64 Формат: PDF Размер: 3.6mb As long as the history of the United States shall endure, the thrilling story of the battle of March 9, 1862, between the "Monitor "and " Merrimac" will retain its fascination.The people of this country and the nations of the world have not really known the full story and the real spirit or energy to which we are prima¬rily indebted for urging the construction of this initial and then invincible vessel whose first encounter marked an epoch in the development of arma¬ments afloat and ashore. And although thirty-seven years have passed since that memorable battle, and articles innumerable in books arid maga¬zines have appeared from time to time in regard to the building of this first type of modern war vessel, it has remained until this day to compile and present herewith some information heretofore unpublished in full, which will show that it was through the efforts of one man chiefly that the work was accomplished....

Willbanks, James H

In the Tet Offensive of 1968, Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces launched a massive countrywide attack on South Vietnam. Though the Communists failed to achieve their tactical and operational objectives, James Willbanks claims Hanoi won a strategic victory. The offensive proved that America's progress was grossly overstated and caused many Americans and key presidential advisors to question the wisdom of prolonging combat. Willbanks also maintains that the Communists laid siege to a Marine combat base two weeks prior to the Tet Offensive-known as the Battle of Khe Sanh—to distract the United States. It is his belief that these two events are intimately linked, and in his concise and compelling history, he presents an engaging portrait of the conflicts and singles out key problems of interpretation.Willbanks divides his study into six sections, beginning with a historical overview of the events leading up to the offensive, the attack itself, and the consequent battles of Saigon, Hue, and Khe Sahn. He continues with a critical assessment of the main themes and issues surrounding the offensive, and concludes with excerpts from American and Vietnamese documents, maps and chronologies, an annotated list of resources, and a short encyclopedia of key people, places, and events.An experienced military historian and scholar of the Vietnam War, Willbanks has written a unique critical reference and guide that enlarges the debate surrounding this important turning point in...
