In 1965, in an effort to stem the Communist tide, the Americans began to commit substantial conventional ground forces to the war in Vietnam. Amongst these was the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), a new type of formation equipped with a large fleet of helicopters. On 19 October, North Vietnamese forces besieged a Special Forces camp at Plei Me, and after the base was relieved days later, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, General Harry Kinnard, advocated using his troops to pursue the retreating Communist forces. |

Название: Schweinfurt-Regensburg 1943: Eighth Air Force’s costly early daylight battles Автор: Marshall Michel III, Jim Laurier Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия: Osprey Air Campaign 14 ISBN: 9781472838674 Год издания: 2020 Язык: English Cтраниц: 97 Формат: True PDF Размер: 12,9 MB
In 1943, the USAAF and RAF launched the Combined Bomber Offensive, designed to systematically destroy the industries that the German war machine relied on. At the top of the hit list were aircraft factories and plants making ball-bearings - a component thought to be a critical vulnerability. Schweinfurt in southern Germany was home to much of the ball-bearing industry and, together with the Messerschmitt factory in Regensburg, which built Bf 109 fighters, it was targeted in a huge and innovative strike. |

Название: British Battleship vs Italian Battleship: The Mediterranean 1940-41 Автор: Mark Stille, Alan Gilliland, Paul Wright Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия: Osprey Duel 101 ISBN: 9781472832269 Год издания: 2020 Язык: English Cтраниц: 81 Формат: True PDF Размер: 14,7 MB
On 9 July 1940, the two navies met in the central Mediterranean, as two Italian battleships faced off against three of their British counterparts. Christened the Battle of Calabria, the action allowed the ships to play to their strengths, engaging in a long-range gunnery duel, the very thing they had been designed for. Though both sides shot well, the only hit was scored by Warspite on the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare. The Italians were forced to withdraw, and the action ended up being indecisive, but it was the largest fleet action fought in the Mediterranean during the war. As well as this battle, there were other occasions during the war when both British and Italian battleships were present and influential, but during which they never engaged each other directly - the Battle of Spartivento on 27 November 1940, and the Battle of Cape Matapan on 28-29 March 1941. |

Ian Passingham's graphic new study draws on a wide range of original German, British and French sources, and it features previously unpublished eyewitness accounts and photographs.
