One of the stalwarts of RAF service and beloved by her crews, the Nimrod has a sage which could be said to be mixed. This well illustrated book provides a thorough explanation of development, service and prospects for the aircraft as things stood in the mid-eighties. The cover shot is a little misleading since the bulk of the book is about the maritime recce versions but the chapter on the AEW is very interesting. Back then there was hope for two decades or more of service left in the RAF fleet at least for the MR2 but if the author had a good crystal ball he would see much more success tinged with sadness and disappointment. To find out about how the Nimrod fared you will have to purchase an additional book but all I can say is that this tome is a worthy addition to anyone interested in RAF aircraft.

The adoption of blitzkrieg tactics in the German Army prior to the start of World War II meant that Germany needed a new kind of fighting vehicle to transport troops around the battlefield in support of the Panzer spearheads. It was in response to this requirement that the armored halftrack was developed during the mid-1930s. The SdKfz 251 halftrack soon became one of the most numerous vehicles in German service during World War II, with over 15,000 produced. This title provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build some of the most popular SdKfz 251 variants in both 1/72 and 1/35 scale. It also includes camouflage paint schemes and markings.

The Panther Medium Tank was produced as a direct result of early experiences with the revolutionary Soviet T-34/76. Designers and military experts combined to produce a number of variations to provide armoured support for the many branches of the German army. Whether acting as a command communications vehicle, involved in mobile air defence as a flakpanzer, a Panzer division recovery vehicle, or utilising the turret as a static defence system, the Panther in its many forms was the mainstay of Germany’s plan to keep her enemies at bay on two fronts.

Broken down by key battles or campaigns within each theater of war, Order of Battle: Western Allied Forces of World War II shows the strengths and organizational structures of the Western Allies' ground forces campaign by campaign, building into a detailed compendium of information.

In 1939 the German Army, with the infantry as its backbone, were probably the best-trained and best-equipped army in the world. By the long Russian winter of 1941/42 they were on an inexorable slide toward defeat. This book tells that story through the many unpublished photographs of Gerhard Sandmann, who served as an infantry soldier until he was captured in 1944, thus ensuring survival of both himself and his photographic record.
