«Стремительный, как эсминец, и монументальный, как линкор» — так в предвоенные годы советские газеты писали о крейсере «Киров», ставшем первым крупным кораблем, построенным в СССР. Несмотря на то, что в годы Великой Отечественной войны этому красавцу так и не довелось помериться силой с равноценным противником, артиллерия «Кирова» не раз громила фашистов под Таллином и Ленинградом, и он по праву считался самым славным кораблем Балтики.

Построенный для русского флота на американской верфи, этот корабль претендовал на звание лучшего в своем классе. Уже в первый день русско-японской войны он был серьезно поврежден торпедой, но при этом продолжал, выполняя роль плавучего форта, отбивать атаки японских миноносцев и брандеров. В Порт-Артуре не было дока, способного вместить столь крупный корабль, но русские инженеры и рабочие смогли отремонтировать корабль с помощью кессона.

They were masters of the craft of illusion and deception, and their greatest disappearing act was to vanish from history. The men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops were recruited to become phantom warriors in a ghost army to help win the Battle of Europe. A thousand strong, they fought in more campaigns, from D Day to the Rhine River, with more Allied armies, than any other unit in the European Theater of Operations-yet not even their fellow American soldiers were aware of their presence.
Название: Borodino 1812: Napoleon’s great gamble Автор: Philip Haythornthwaite Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия: Campaign (Book 246) ISBN: 1849086966 Год: 2012 Страниц: 96 Язык: английский Формат: True PDF Размер: 10.7 MB
The battle of Borodino was one of the greatest encounters in European history, and one of the largest and most sanguinary in the Napoleonic Wars. Following the breakdown of relations between Russia and France, Napoleon assembled a vast Grande Arm?e drawn from the many states within the French sphere of influence. They crossed the river Neimen and entered Russian territory in June 1812 with the aim of inflicting a sharp defeat on the Tsar's forces and bringing the Russians back into line. In a bloody battle of head-on attacks and desperate counter-attacks in the village of Borodino on 7 September 1812, both sides lost about a third of their men, with the Russians forced to withdraw and abandon Moscow to the French. However, the Grande Arm?e was harassed by Russian troops all the way back and was destroyed by the retreat. The greatest army Napoleon had ever commanded was reduced to a shadow of frozen, starving fugitives. This title will cover the events of Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign of 1812 in its entirety, with the set-piece battle of Borodino proving the focal point of the book.

The Aeroplane Collectors’ Archive series is devoted to British monoplane fl ying-boats – we intend to cover biplane ‘boats in a future issue, while the Saro SR.A/1 will also feature in another of this series. One type included here is not a fl ying-boat – the seaplane upper component of the Short-Mayo Composite, but the unit had to be considered as a whole. As in previous Collectors’ Archives, only basic details for each type are given, and we concentrate on providing large and interesting illustrations and cutaway drawings from the Aeroplane and Flight archives, supplementing these where necessary by quality prints from our wider archive and from other sources. We are grateful to the Solent Sky Museum Southampton for their assistance with this volume.
