Includes large number of experimental and prototype versions and is well illustrated with clear photographs and technical ...             ARMOURED OPERATIONS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR: VOLUME I3 reviews Juan Garcia AF Editions, 2006 Well-rounded view of World War II AFVs This book is a well-rounded overview of armoured fighting vehicles in World War, primarily in the ETO. The book is not comprehensive, focusing on certain areas of operations or battles. (The cover of the book conveniently lists the chapters, and thus areas of concentration, probably because the book is sold shrink-wrapped to avoid any damage to the surprisingly good fold-out drawings of many of ...             The Confederate Navy: The Ships, Men, and Organization, 1861-653 reviews Raimondo Luraghi, Robert Holcombe, ... Conway Maritime Press, 1997 Outstanding! Definitive! A Triumph! Dr. Still, the dean of Confederate naval historians, is the proud editor of this tour-de-force overview of the Confederate Navy.

Doyle Arms & Armour, 1993 Perhaps the best overview of World War II German armor The Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War II covers virtually every combatvehicle produced by Germany from 1929 through 1945. At least 90% of the vehicles are depicted in either photographs (most common) or drawings (for prototypical vehicles). As a builder of 1/35th scale armor, this book provides an excellent ready reference. An emphasis is placed on the vital statistics of each ...             AIRBORNE ARMOUR: Tetrarch, Locust, Hamilcar and the 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment 1938-501 review Keith Flint Helion and Company Ltd., 2004 Another Must Have Flint's coverage of airbourne armour fills a much needed gap in the wargamers Library.Buy it read it .             OPERATION EPSOM (Battleground Europe Normandy)2 reviews Tim Saunders Pen and Sword, 2003 An Excellent Study of a Corps Attack Operation Epsom, by veteran Battleground Europe author Tim Saunders, is the first in five new volumes covering the British attempts to break out of the Normandy beachhead in 1944. Given the far greater attention given to D-Day itself and the American breakout in Operation Cobra, these volumes help to fill in a number of details about the relatively neglected British operations in Normandy. ...             The Combat History of German Heavy Anti-Tank Unit 653 in World War II6 reviews Karlheinz Munch Stackpole Books, 2005 Not for the combat fan. This book does give you an idea of what working with these very heavy tank destroyers was like. In practice that meant dealing with the frustrations of equipment which was frequently broken down, and you will see how critical the infrastructure which supported the actual AFV is. There is very little about actual combat, but some. You do get a good feeling for the tradeoff of extremely heavy unit ...             How to Build Dioramas18 reviews Sheperd Paine Kalmbach Publishing Company, 1999 amazing diaromas this book has many tips. ý recommend all modeller especialy for beginer. after ý read this book my diaromas have a lot of detail. this book enlarge your imagination and you wish make very realistic and detailed diaromas. thanks for Sheperd Paine             Cambrai 1917: The birth of armoured warfare (Campaign)2 reviews Alexander Turner Osprey Publishing, 2007 A Solid Study of the Development of Combined Arms Warfare British military historian Alexander Turner, a serving officer in the Irish Guards, provides a valuable and in-depth look at the landmark Battle of Cambrai in 1917. This battle was remarkable both for the first massed use of tanks by the British and by the first large-scale use of Stosstruppen tactics by the Germans on the Western Front. Although many accounts focus too heavily on the tank aspect ...             Russian tanks, 1900-1970: The complete illustrated history of Soviet armoured theory and design2 reviews John Milsom Arms and Armour Press, 1970 Not just a list of tanks. Russian Tanks 1900-1970 is not just another book listing tanks and armoured vehicles. The first chapter of the book starts with concepts that Russia was trying to develop before Revolution. The next six chapters deal with the formation of the tank industry, how real warfare forced the tanks to evolve to meet realistic needs, and tanks of the Nuclear Age. The second part of the book is made up ...             OPERATION GOODWOOD: Attack by Three British Armoured Divisions - July 1944 (Battleground Europe - Normandy)1 review Ian Daglish Pen and Sword, 2004 An Excellent Account of the "Apparent Failure" For most American military history readers, Operation "Goodwood" was merely the largest of a string of British failures to seize Caen in Normandy in July 1944. Since most US histories of the Normandy campaign focus on the breakout with Operation Cobra, the "apparent failure" of Operation "Goodwood" as General Eisenhower referred to it, gets little scrutiny. Thanks to Pen & Sword's excellent ...             Cassell Military Classics: Iron Fist: Classic Armoured Warfare1 review Bryan Perrett Sterling, 1999 Heavy Cavalry for the 20th Century This is as good a book about tanks as one would wish to have. Perrett does what so many military historians neglect to do: he explains what a weapon is for, what a weapon does and why it is needed. He is both comfortable with the subject-matter and capable of stringing a sentence together - again, a rare combination among military historians. And in a series of self-contained chapters, he ...             Tank: A History of the Armoured Fighting Vehicle1 review KENNETH MACKSEY Ballantine Books, 1976 Tanks 101 "Tank" was part of a Ballantine series of large-format, heavily illustrated books on the history of key 20th century weapons. Other volumes in the series included "Fighter," "Bomber," and "Artillery." Now out of print, they are well worth seeking out because--allowing for the passage of nearly 30 years--their combination of authoritative text and copious illustrations is still valuable. This ...             Armoured forces: A history of armoured forces and their vehicles,1 review Richard M Ogorkiewicz Arms and Armour P, 1970 Armored History This book does for armor what English's _On Infantry_ does for them. Though it may be considered a little dated, it covers the development of tanks and armored units up to the earlier Arab-Israeli wars and may in fact have inspired them to give armor a try. The coverage of WWI and 2 is excellant. While the latest antitank weapons are constantly being offered as proof of the death of armor, please ...             Iron Hulls Iron Hearts: Mussolini's Elite Armoured Divisions in North Africa10 reviews Ian Walker The Crowood Press, 2006 A Breath of Fresh Air This book by Ian Walker is the best treatment of the subject in English I have ever seen. For those who read this book with an open mind, Walker succeeds admirably in what I believe was his aim, i.e., to put the performance of the Italian armored forces in North Africa in somewhat of a proper perspective. No, Walker does not cite specific examples of British and US negative bias towards Italian ...             Encyclopedia Of German Tanks Of World War Two: The Complete Illustrated Dictionary of German Battle ...27 reviews Peter Chamberlain Arms and Armour, 1999 Excellent source of reference This book remains one of the best sources of reference regarding German military vehicles during the Second World War. However, it should not be mistaken like some of the previous reviewers that this book is some sort of history book on the German forces. If anyone wishes to read how well the Panther or a Tiger did in combat, read else where. This book remains a data reference source. In this ...             World Encyclopaedia of the Tank: An International History of the Armoured Fighting Machine1 review Christopher Chant Patrick Stephens, 1994 A well done history of tank design and use. This is a definitive work on the design and development of tanks. It goes from the beginning of their construction up to the date of publication of the book. It appears to be very complete. Only a few color photos but a pretty thorough set of 4mm scale line drawings. Note that it is limited to tanks only--no other AFVs are considered. An outstanding reference             Achtung-Panzer!: The Development of Armoured Forces, Their Tactics and Operational Potential10 reviews Heinz Guderian Arms & Armour, 1995 Inspired and insightful work This book shows just how intelligent and far-seeing Guderian was. Initially the book provides an overview on weapons and tactics in the first world war, before moving on to Guderian's own ideas for the needs and tactics needed for a successful tank force. What suprised me most was how relevant his thoughts are in a modern context. This is a very interesting read for anyone interested in the ...             Iron Fist: Classic Armoured Warfare Case Studies1 review Bryan Perrett Arms & Armour, 1996 Excellent tank action. Perrett, a tank expert, here covers the history of armored warfare through examination of significant battles, from World War I through Desert Sabre (Gulf War). He has avoided some battles which have been written about to the point of redundancy elsewhere, concentrating on the evolution of equipment and tactics and always keeping in mind the experience of the men inside the tank. The result ...              search for books 1900-1970, 1933-1945, achtung-panzer, anti-tank, battleground, confederate, development, dictionary, directory, divisions, encyclopaedia, encyclopedia, goodwood, hamilcar, illustrated, international, mussolini, normandy, operation, operational, operations, organization, potential, propelled, reconnaissance, regiment, self-propelled, semi-track, semi-tracked, tetrarch books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
