Название: Armor Number 23: M60 Patton in Action Автор: Jim Mesko, Perry Manley, Don Greer Издательство: Squadron/Signal Publications ISBN: 0897471768 Год издания: 1986 Страниц: 52 Язык: Английский Формат: pdf Качество: хорошее Размер: 10.9 Мб
Описание: For those who are familiar with the work of Jim Mesko and Squadron/Signal publications (particularly the "in action" series), this will not disappoint. "M60 Patton in Action" is a detailed and informative look at the late model Pattons. Criticism levied at the amount of color photography in the book should be taken with a grain of salt given that the tank entered service in the early 1960s and source material available between 1960 and 1986 (when the book was published) was probably largely limited to black and white military photography. Color plates and paintings supplement the b&w photography, diagrams and text well.
Название: Armor Number 20: T-34 in Action Автор: Steven J. Zaloga, James Grandsen Издательство: Squadron/Signal Publications ISBN: 0897471121 Год издания: 1983 Страниц: 50 Язык: Английский Формат: pdf Качество: хорошее Размер: 45.2 Мб
Описание: The T-34 was the single most effective tank design of the Second World War. It was produced in larger numbers than any other tank and few subsequent tank designs escaped its revolutionary influences. When it originally entered combat in the summer of 1941, it was markedly superior to any tank in the German arsenal. The Wehrmacht was able to eventually counter the T-34 with heavier tanks like the Panther, Tiger and Royal Tiger, but the introduction of the improved T-34-85 and the new IS-2 restored Soviet superiority. The Wehrmacht paid for the technical ingenuity of the Panthers and Tigers by their enormous cost, complexity and frequent unreliability. The smaller and more robust T-34 could be produced in quantities, two or three times greater than its German adversaries and, in the end, emaciated German tank regiments were routed by an overwhelming wave of Soviet tank brigades.
Название: Armor Number 11: Panther in Action Автор: Bruce Culver Издательство: Squadron/Signal Publications ISBN: 0897470443 Год издания: 1975 Страниц: 52 Язык: Английский Формат: pdf Качество: хорошее Размер: 41.3 Мб
Описание: Development of an improved replacement for the PzKpfw IV medium tank had proceeded at a slow pace, since the IV had proven to be a reliable and versatile design. Despite fairly high losses during certain stages of the Polish and French campaigns, the Germans were relatively satisfied with the PzKpfw II, III, and IV.
Название: Armor Number 9: British Armour in Action Автор: Norm E. Harms, Steve Clayton, Uwe Feist Издательство: Squadron/Signal Publications Год издания: 1974 Страниц: 50 Язык: Английский Формат: pdf Качество: хорошее Размер: 9.3 Мб
Описание: In our present volume dealing with "British Armour In Action" we shall begin our discussion with the Battle of France and proceed to North Africa. The coverage of vehicles has been limited to those which appear in service by the time of the Battle of El Alamein. These limits cover almost one half of the Second World War period and were the most formative for the British tank forces who would later enter battle on the European continent. The lessons learned in France and North Africa were done so from practical experience in contrast to book principles, though book principles had been tried in the beginning. One book which might have been of some assistance was the one being written in Poland and France by the German Panzer divisions. The engagements between British and Italian forces in North Africa could not be considered a sound basis to prepare future plans in handling armored formations. The down to business aspects of North Africa commenced with the arrival of the Desert Fox, Rommel.

Название: Dominator: The Story of the Consolidated B-32 Bomber Автор: Stephen Harding, James I. Long Издательство: Pictorial Histories Publishing ISBN: 0933126387 Год издания: 1984 Страниц: 66 Язык: Английский Формат: pdf Качество: хорошее Размер: 11.6 Мб
Описание: In any discussion of American heavy bombers of the Second World War the aircraft most frequently mentioned are the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator and the B-29 Superfortress. This is understandable, for those aeriai workhorses were produced in great numbers, served in nearly every theater of war, and formed the backbone of the U.S. Army Air Forces strategic bombing offensive against the Axis powers. It is equally understandable why the Consolidated B-32 Dominator is the least remembered participant in that great offensive, for the 115 production B-32s delivered to the Army Air Forces amounted to only slightly more than two-tenths of one percent of the 50,750 bombardment aircraft accepted from contractors during the Second World War.
