"Ever since men first went to war in airplanes, they have decorated their aircraft with their own highly unique art form. (This book) surveys the 80-year history of this unofficial artwork, from World War I to the Gulf War. The author, himself once a combat pilot, examines the origins of this art, how it was developed over time, and how it boosts the morale of those facing the daily stress of battle. The superb illustrations survey nose art's many themes, from fierce animals to cartoon characters, from female caricatures to complex science fiction scenes." Tiny dints on bottom edge of boards.

London: Osprey, 1991. 160 pp, 4to (12 1/4" H). "Perhaps the most famous vessel in the US Navy's 15-strong carrier fleet is the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), known as either the 'Big E' or 'Starship' to its 5000-man crew. Proud owner of the longest flight deck currently in service, the Enterprise adorns its 'roof' with the crack units of Carrier Air Wing II; VF-114 'Aardvarks' and VF-213 'Black Lions' with their F-14 Tomcats; VA-22 'Fighting Redcocks' and VA-94 'Mighty Shrikes equipped with A-7E Corsair IIs; the formidable A-6E Intruders of VA-95 'Green Lizards'; the EA-6B Prowlers of VAQ-135 'Black Ravens'; the all-seeing E-2C Hawkeyes of VAW-117 'Wallbangers'; and the whispering S-3A Vikings of VS-21 'Fighting Redtails'.

London: Arms and Armour, 1980. 208 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w plates, maps. "This is the 300-year history of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, one of the oldest Scottish regiments and one of only five surviving infantry regiments of the line in the British Army to have retained their identity since the days they were raised. The bulk of the book, however, is devoted to the Regiment's history over the past hundred years, through both the small wars and the world wars, and the aftermath of Empire. A special place is given to the Korean War and its hard-fought 'Guy Fawkes' battle. The demands on the British soldier in a changing world are also presented - 'The combat suit and the chunky jersey convey the new image, the modern equivalent of the thin red line', says the author, himself an ex-Borderer. His account shows how The King's Own Scottish Borderers serve our country to-day, and draw on a great tradition, so that well do they say: 'Once a Borderer, always… Read More

Description:
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999. 291 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). "(E)xamines the formulation of British and American policy between 1945 and 1955 towards one of the most hated regimes of this century. The Franco question, though apparently not of the first importance in the evolution of Cold War policy, nevertheless haunted British and American governments during this period. It posed a problem which epitomizes the difficulty of dealing with pariah regimes. As such it highlights for historians the attempts of these two governments to straddle the contradictions inherent in the emerging dual system of the United Nations, or internationalism, on the one hand, and the older system of balance of power, played out by the superpowers as the Cold War. Set as it is in the domestic and international context, it also exemplifies problems faced today by individual governments and by the United Nations in dealing with questions of intervention or non-intervention in distasteful regimes."

London: Ian Allan, 1991. 294 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). B&w photographs, maps/battle plans. "The term Blitzkrieg, or lightning war, was coined by the Germans, but has been part of the English language for the past 50 years. It reflects the aim of armies throughout history to achieve quick and decisive victory. As this book describes, Blitzkrieg originated in the deadlock of trench warfare on the Western Front 1915-17 and the efforts by both sides to break it. The internal combustion engine, both in the air and on the ground, provided the means and fast moving mechanised forces closely supported by air power were the result. Theory and experimentation in the 1920s and 1930s gave way to the Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939-42, which left Germany master of Continental Europe and much of western Russia. The Allies eventually found the antidote and applied the concept themselves during the latter part of the war. Since then Blitzkrieg has been at the forefront of Israeli strategy and dominated… Read More

Shepperton, Surrey: Ian Allan, 1999. 112 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H). Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs, drawings. "The Avro Shackleton completed 40 years of front-line service in the Royal Air Force. The first prototype (in shape and concept a direct descendent of the Manchester-Lancaster-Lincoln-Tudor lineage) first flew in 1949, and the AEW aircraft of No 8 Squadron were still operational in the early 1990s. The aircraft undoubtedly marked the end of an era of the RAF's four-piston-engined 'heavies', although it remained in service for nearly 30 years after it was first classified as obsolete. Built originally for anti-submarine warfare, the Shackleton had been used by the RAF for other roles, including search and rescue, colonial policing, troop and freight carrying, supplying weather ships, maritime surveillance and showing the flag. (T)he author not only traces the Shackleton's origins and activities in many different roles but brings out the deep affection… Read More

Description:
London: Bison, 1988. 64 pp, 4to (11 1/4" H). "The B-29 was a larger and more devastating weapon than even its predecessor and namesake, the B-17 Flying Fortress. Developed during World War II by Boeing, this American superbomber could carry a much heavier load and fly over greater distances than any aircraft then in existence. This feature became particularly important during the Pacific War, when American aircraft had to fly well over a thousand miles and back to devastate the Home Islands of Japan. The apotheosis of the Superfortress came when it was chosen to carry the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In later versions it was used by the Americans during the Korean War with great effect. The technical changes and use of this massive bomber is told brilliantly by John Pimlott of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Richly illustrated with colour and monochrome photographs as well as colour sideviews and a full colour cut away drawn by Mike Badrocke, this… Read More

Oxford: Osprey, 2003. 96 pp, large 8vo (9 3/4" H). Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs, technical drawings, colour profiles, nose art. "(C)hronicles the story of a majestic four-engined bomber of the propeller era flying perilous combat missions against a sleek, nimble aeroplane of the jet age, the Soviet MiG-15. A 'very heavy' bomber and a sky giant during World War 2 (at that time the B29 was the world's most advanced combat aircraft), it had been reclassified as a 'medium' bomber by the time North Korea attacked its sourthern neighbour in 1950. Many of its crew members had fought their war and settled down to raise families and begin careers - only to be recalled to fight another war on a distant Asian peninsula. An irreverent bunch, they painted their B-29s in elaborate colour schemes. Historians have long been intrigued by the unique war they fought, pitting their big and vulnerable bomber against a veritable fleet of MiG-15s. Crammed full of first-hand… Read More
