Nieuport Aces of World War 1

Author: Norman Franks
Illustrator: Harry Dempsey

Paperback; April 25 2000; 96 pages; ISBN: 1855329611

Description: The French Nieuport company provided the Allied air forces with the first true fighter scout of World War 1 in the shape of the diminutive XI of 1915. Based on the Bebe racer, built for the abandoned Gordon-Bennett Trophy of the previous year, the aircraft utilised a sesquiplane (lower wing much smaller than the upper wing) arrangement which gave the XI extreme manoeuvrability. It was the only scout respected by the all-conquering German Fokker E-series of 1915-16, and was flown by French, British, Russian, Belgian and Italian aces. The XI was replaced from May 1916 onwards by the bigger and more powerful XVII. which proved to be one of the best fighters of World War 1.

P-40 Warhawk Aces of the CBI

Author: Carl Molesworth
Illustrator: Jim Laurier

Paperback; December 25 2000; 96 pages; ISBN: 184176079X

Desciption: This book details the colourful experiences of the elite pilots of the AAF's Tenth and Fourteenth Air Forces in the 'forgotten' China-Burma-India theatre during WW2. Inheriting the legacy of the American Volunteer Group (AVG), units such as the 23rd FG 'held the line' against overwhelming Japanese forces until the arrival of the first P-38s and P-51s in 1944. The Warhawk became synonymous with the efforts of the AAF in the CBI, being used by some 40 aces to claim five or more kills between 1942-45. This volume is the first of four covering the exploits with the P-40 during World War 2.

Aircrafts of the Aces 036

P-39 Airacobra Aces of World War 2

Author: John Stanaway
Illustrator: Jim Laurier

Paperback; July 25 2001; 96 pages; ISBN: 1841762040

Description: The first American fighter fitted with a tricyle undercarriage and mid-mounted engine, the P-39 proved less than successful in the hands of its launch customer, the US Army Air Force (AAF). Hampered by unreliabilty and poor engine performance at high altitude, the P-39 nevertheless served alongside the P-40 and P-38 in the bitter struggle to capture Guadalcanal in 1942/43, as well as seeing much action over the jungles of New Guinea. Around a dozen AAF aces scored five kills with the P-39, although this total was far outstripped by the Soviet Red Air Force, whose pilots rated the Airacobra as one of the best lend-lease fighters of the war. continued to oppose Allied bombing raids on northern Italy until VE-Day.

Aircrafts of the Aces 038

Tomahawk and Kittyhawk Aces of the RAF and Commonwealth

Authors: Andrew Thomas, Tony Holmes

Paperback; November 13 2002; 112 pages; ISBN: 1841760838

Description: Deemed unsuitable for the Channel Front, lend-lease Tomahawks and Kittyhawks instead became the staple fighters of the Desert Air Force in 1941-42, flying with RAF, South African and Australian squadrons in North Africa and the Middle East. Although usually outclassed by the Bf 109, a number of pilots enjoyed some success during the desert campaign – men like Caldwell, Gibbes, Edwards and Drake, all of whom accrued double figure scores. In the Far East, Australian and New Zealand pilots also saw much action against the Japanese in 1942/43, flying over the jungles of New Guinea in defence of the Australian mainland. This book charts the careers of the men who ‘made ace’ in these often underestimated fighters.

Мало показалось некоторым товарищам, что своим обсуждением "кто что наложит-выложит" заняли по пол-страницы - ничего не найдешь, так еще и испортили всю исторически-униформическую ветку в форуме своими самолетиками.

Satsuma, поосторожней с высказываниями. Решение о том что и когда выкладывать, к счастью, не вы принимаете. А ветка не ''исторически-униформическая'', а по книгам Osprey. Советую внимательнее читать название: ''Книги Osprey (военная тематика)''. Самолёты относятся к военной тематике?


И когда вы тут разводили дискуссию по поводу ''купить /не купить'' ''читают / не читают'', ''собирать на халяву''. Это было гораздо более не по делу, чем обсуждение кто и что выложит.

Если Вам не нравится, вы можете идти на любой другой форум, и искать единомышленников, которые не будут портить ''исторически-униформическую ветку '' ''самолётиками''.

''Самолётики'' кстати не мои и не Frodo, нас тогда не было, когда они летали, да и стоят дороговато.

Видели, кстати огромное спасибо, и вообще товарищи, кто не хочет качать из ослика и долго ждать в очередях, а также болеет за общее дело по выкладке всех книг издательства Osprey; прошу постить здесь ссылки в ослике на появившиеся релизы, а потом, качайте их спокойно с Http ресурсов куда мы их для Вас выкладываем.

Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1

Author: Norman Franks
Illustrator: Harry Dempsey

Paperback; August 25 2001; 96 pages; ISBN: 1841762237

Description: Undoubtedly the most famous fighter type to see service on either side during World War 1, the Fokker Dr I was a revelation when it entered service on the western front in 1917. Manfred von Richthofen’s JG 1 ‘circus’ was the first Jasta to completely re-equip with the new fighter, and in the skilled hands of its numerous aces the Dr I proved a formidable opponent. The Dr I remained in service on the Western Front until replaced by the superior Fokker D VII in May 1918. Just weeks prior to that, however, Germany’s leading ace, the great ‘Red Baron’, had been killed at the controls of a Dr I.

American Aces of World War 1

Author: Norman Franks
Illustrator: Harry Dempsey

Paperback; September 25 2001; 96 pages; ISBN: 1841763756

Description: American fliers arriving in Europe from September 1917 brought with them no aircraft. Instead, US units had to obtain machines mainly from the British and French. From early 1918 American pilots were issued with SPAD fighters and they never looked back. As this volume details, the first American trained pilot to become an ace was Lt Douglas Campbell, who shot down five German aircraft by the end of May 1918. He was a member of the celebrated 94th 'Hat in the Ring' Aero Squadron, which created the bulk of American aces in World War I.

Gloster Gladiator Aces

Author: Andrew Thomas
Illustrator: John Weal

erback; February 25 2002; 96 pages; ISBN: 184176289X

Description: Never before has a single volume been devoted exclusively to the intrepid and disparate band of pilots who could claim to be Gladiator aces. Flying the ultimate British biplane fighter, pilots in China, Finland, East Africa, North Africa, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, Norway and the Middle East all scored the prerequisite five kills to become aces. The first individuals to do so were fighting marauding Japanese fighters and bombers attacking targets in China in 1938. The likes of Sheen, Tuck and Carey will also be featured in this volume, as they were among the many early war acers who cut their teeth in Fighter Command on the Gladiator.

Dolphin and Snipe Aces of World War 1

Author: Norman Franks
Illustrator: Harry Dempsey

Paperback; May 12 2002; 96 pages; ISBN: 1841763179

Description: This book focuses on the combat careers of the last of the famous Sopwith fighters to enter service during World War 1, the Dolphin and the Snipe, both of which were built on the strong scouting heritage of the Pup and Camel. The Dolphin featured the unique negative-staggered biplane wing arrangement, which provided the pilot with the best possible tactical view forward for seeking out his enemy. Used extensively on the Western Front, the Dolphin proved very effective in combat, with a substantial number of British aces scoring kills with the fighter. The Snipe was built as the successor of the highly successful Camel, and entered service with the fledgling Royal Air Force in the summer of 1918. Although seeing just a few months of action before the Armistice, the Snipe nevertheless proved its superiority over virtually all other fighters.
