Always overshadowed by its far more famous sibling the Spitfire, the Seafire was an aircraft adapted initially in haste to fill a large gap in the Fleet Air Arm's fighter inventory. The first Seafires were developed from the early marks of Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered Spitfore, but although the structure was strengthened to absorb some of the landing loads characteristic of carrier operation, the airframe would exhibit some alarming failures; a trait that continued through the life of the type. The next series of Seafires were Griffon powered and followed their RAF counterparts in introducing blow canopies and, later, modified wing planforms.

This book is based on both Soviet and German records and tells the story of the extent to which Soviet forces used German aircraft during World War II. As well as the German aircraft purchased after the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact in 1939, it tells of the great many captured German aircraft that found their way into the Soviet Air Force. Virtually all major German aircraft types were captured and test-flown during the war, and many others were used operationally.

The destroyer Campbeltown is most famous for her part in the commando raid on the St Nazaire drydock in 1942. Built as the USS Buchanan (DD131)- and later renamed Campbelton - she was one of over 270 flush-decked destroyers put into service towards the end of World War I. When Britain appealed to America in 1940 for the transfer of fifty vessels for anti-submarine duty, Buchanan was one of the first 'gift horses' to be transferred. The Anatomy of the Ship Series : This highly acclaimed series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory perspective views.

This is the book that had to be written - a scoop for Panzer Tracts! During years of research, including visits to Porsche in Germany, the authors have uncovered truly amazing facts and data about Porsche's development of Tiger tanks. Myths are destroyed and facts are now available to all. This is the first time that the comprehensive history of the Porsche Tiger has been written for any publication. The photos are new, the history is new, the data is new, and the scale drawings are new - everything is new! This book is packed with five sets of accurate 1:35 scale four-view drawings that show all the significant changes that occurred during the production run - illustrating Tiger (P) Nr.1, Tiger (P) Nr.3, Tiger (P) with Turret Nr.11 or 12 (the higher sided also mounted on the Tiger I), Tiger (P) Nr.7, and the uparmored and modernized Tiger (P) used as a command tank in Russia during 1944. Virtually every one of these Porsche Tigers was different. 63 photographs, the majority never seen before in a publication in English, visually enhance this great book.

Adolf Hitler, writing in Mein Kampf, was scathing in his condemnation of German propaganda in the First World War, declaring that Germany had failed to recognize propaganda as a weapon of the first order. This despite the fact that propaganda had been regarded, arguably for the first time, as an intrinsic part of the war effort. David Welch has written the first book to fully examine German society -- politics, propaganda, public opinion, and total war -- in the Great War. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from posters, newspapers, journals, film, parliamentary debates, police and military reports, and private papers, Welch argues that the moral collapse of Germany was due less to the failure to disseminate propaganda than to the inability of the military authorities and the Kaiser to reinforce this propaganda, and to acknowledge the importance of public opinion in forging an effective link between leadership and the people.
