Aufklarer Volume One - David Wadman - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Aufklarer Volume One - David Wadman - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The first in a two volume series, this book provides a study of another significant arm of the Luftwaffe that has not been covered to date, Aufklarungsflieger or reconnaissance units. Although such operations are sometimes erroneously perceived as being of lesser importance due to their apparent lack of an offensive function, the Luftwaffe was very advanced in its espousal of the importance of the doctrine of reconnaissance and fully understood its benefits. in fact, no single arm of the Luftwaffe operated such a wide range of aircraft types and many of the operations conducted by the Aufklarungsflieger units were of vital importance to the German war effort.This title covers the aircraft and operations of the reconnaissance units from their origins, in clandestine survey and photographic work over Poland and the United Kingdom in the 1930s, through the first part of World War 2 when they were used during the Spanish Civil War. Aufklarungsflieger were involved on every front where the Luftwaffe fought, from Poland in the east to Britain in the west and they also played their part in operations in the invasions of the Balkans and Russia. On the Russian and Mediterranean fronts, short-range reconnaissance usually involved low-level missions over enemy territory using the ubiquitous Fieseler Fi 156 Storch and Hs 126 biplanes, though Bf 109s and Fw 190s were also employed in such activities. Also included is coverage of the ''Wekusta'' weather reconnaissance units, responsible for the collection of meteorological data, where, because of the proximity of the enemy, normal land based observation was not possible. These units were assigned directly to the Meteorological Service of the Luftwaffe High Command and were considered very valuable assets.In the style of the already published Jagdwaffe, Kampflieger, Nachtjager, Transporter and Zerstorer series, this latest addition to the range will be welcomed by the many modelers, aviation enthusiasts and historians who are still interested in the activities, colours and markings of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War.

Harold Gasson’s Steam Days - Harold Gasson - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Harold Gasson’s Steam Days - Harold Gasson - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Three of his books described his life as a fireman based at Didcot shed from the early 1940s. Firing Days was followed by Footplate Days and then Nostalgia Days. Finally, after Harold had forsaken the footplate for the signal box, came the final instalment, Signalling Days. All were eagerly sought after at the time for they described the railway readers wanted to hear about, providing a nostalgic perspective which could be enjoyed from the comfort of one''s arm chair. Out of print for several decades all four books have now been reprinted and are available together for the first time complete with a new set of illustrations. The steam engines and most of the mechanical signal boxes of Harold''s working days may have been long consigned to history but in these well-written and enjoyable books they are brought vividly back to life for a new audience to enjoy as well for those who recall his era for whom these tales will reawaken treasured memories.

The Dornier Do 217 - Chris Goss - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Dornier Do 217 - Chris Goss - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Dornier Do 217 represented the refinement of German twin-engined bomber design, a progression from the earlier Do 17. From 1941, the Do 217 became the mainstay of the Luftwaffe''s bomber arm in the West, equipping four Gruppen for operations over Britain. It carried out day and night attacks on British shipping, coastal targets, towns and industrial centres, both in formation and in lone attacks known to the German crews as ''Pirate'' operations. These missions, though achieving some success, were undertaken at considerable cost to the crews of the Do 217s, a measure of the strength of opposition it encountered in the RAF''s nightfighter squadrons, improved radar and anti-aircraft defences.As the demand from Germany''s battlefronts grew from early 1942, the Do 217, albeit in very limited numbers, was developed into a radar-equipped nightfighter. In the Mediterranean it was used as an effective maritime strike aircraft, launching highly developed stand-off bombs and remotely-controlled glide-bomb weapons in the form of the ''Fritz X'' and Hs 293 which accounted for the destruction or damage of several notable warships. It was also used as a night reconnaissance aircraft on the Eastern Front and over Britain in the Luftwaffe''s 1942 ''Baedeker Blitz''. Following extensive research, including interviews and correspondence with former aircrew and their families, renowned Luftwaffe historian, Chris Goss, has documented the operational history of the Do 217 and offers the most comprehensive account so far published in the English language. The story is complemented by hundreds of rare photographs, many never before published, as well specially commissioned colour artwork.

On Guard - Ken Ellis - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

On Guard - Ken Ellis - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This new book deals with a subject that will be close to the hearts of many aviation enthusiasts in that it is commemorating the gate guardians that for decades were a feature at the entrance to many RAF, Fleet Air Arm and Army bases. Who knows how many were inspired to take an interest in military aviation, to join the Air Cadets or even pursue a career in aviation by these potent symbols of Britain''s military aviation heritage?Back in the 1970s and 1980s it was rare for a military aviation base in the UK not to be graced by a gate guardian and these airframes have always fascinated enthusiasts. Prominently located and usually kept in good condition, these retired aircraft allowed passers-by to see up close examples of historic and significant aircraft types, such as the Hurricanes and Spitfires which won the Battle of Britain. As time moved on, other retired aircraft took their places on these plinths, early military jets and helicopters among them.The book traces gate guardians on a location-by-location basis. It presents full histories of significant examples and details all aircraft that have been displayed at military establishments across Great Britain and its Crown Territories. As well as the fascinating aircraft, the book provides background on many long-forgotten military bases.Another feature of the books is the ''harvesting'' of Spitfire and Hurricanes as ''extras'' in the epic film Battle of Britain; the scheme that replaced original aircraft used as gate guardians with full-scale replicas, allowing the return of precious original airframes back to the skies. In addition, for the first time the histories and fates of the hundreds of aircraft used for instruction and display by Air Cadet squadrons since the early days of World War Two are detailed.On Guard is a wonderfully nostalgic journey back in time, copiously illustrated throughout and including colour images taken over a period of six decades.

Wings Over the Fleet - James Jackson - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Wings Over the Fleet - James Jackson - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Royal Navy emerged from the Second World War with the second largest fleet of aircraft carriers in the world and a year later had achieved the world''s first landing and take-off by a jet-powered aircraft from an aircraft carrier. The traditional roles of reconnaissance, aerial defence of the fleet and attack were joined by anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. Technological advances in jet propulsion and helicopters offered new tactical possibilities, as well as new practical problems to be overcome to enable their operation from carriers. From the early 1950s the Fleet Air Arm operated a wide range of aircraft, from fighter-bombers, such as the Hawker Sea Hawk, to fully fledged nuclear-armed Blackburn Buccaneers and all-weather fighters like the de Havilland Sea Vixen and McDonnell Douglas F-4K Phantom. Westland''s family of anti-submarine helicopters, the Wasp, Wessex, Sea King and Lynx operated from a wide range of ships, ranging from small frigates to carrier decks. Defence cutbacks that saw the retirement of the fleet carriers and the transfer of the Phantoms and Buccaneers in 1978, but the British Aerospace Sea Harrier operating from smaller anti-submarine carriers maintained the Navy''s fixed-wing combat capability, this being memorably demonstrated in the South Atlantic in 1982. Today, the Royal Navy operates two modern carriers and shares the aviation commitment with the Royal Air Force, flying the most modern fighter in the world, the vertical take-off and landing capable Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning. Wings Over the Fleet describes the evolution and development of the Royal Navy''s frontline aircraft from the late 1940s to the present day. All the major types are covered, from all-weather fighters, interceptors, strike aircraft, anti-submarine helicopters and airborne early warning aircraft. The planning and requirements behind the aircraft such as the Sea Hawk, Sea Vixen, Buccaneer, Gannet, Wasp, Sea King and Sea Harrier are examined, as are many design studies and proposals that remained on the drawing board. Guided missiles during the post-war period and the evolution of the Royal Navy''s aircraft carriers and the new technologies required to operate jet aircraft from ships are also analysed.
