Signeret dokumentation Fiskeørn Publishing le livre «British Anti-tank Artillery 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 98» .

The rapid development of the tank as an offensive weapon following its introduction in World War I gave artillery theorists cause for concern during the 1920s and 1930s. By the beginning of World War II anti-tank guns had been developed, initially at around 37mm and 2 pounds in weight of shot. By the end of the war, monster anti-tank weapons were being developed, able to penetrate an armour thickness of up to 200mm at a range of 1,000 yards. This book explores the British efforts to keep up in a war of development, which saw heavier and more powerful guns eventually replaced by experimental ideas in an attempt to stop the German onslaught.

Den U/18 76mm Gun Motor Carriage was developed for the US Army’s Tank Destroyer Command. It was the only tank destroyer deployed during World War II actually based on their requirements for speed and firepower. This book examines the development of this vehicle, the controversies over the need for high-speed tank destroyers, and its actual performance during World War II. Special emphasis is placed on examining its performance in its intended mission. Coverage also includes derivative vehicles of the M18 such as the M39 armored utility vehicle.

En dokumentation fra Fiskeørn Publishing the book «German Destroyers 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 91» .

Den Tysk destroyer fleet of World War II consisted of nine classes: the Diether Von Roeder Class, the Leberecht Maas Class and the wartime classes Z23, Z35, Z37, Z40, Z43, Z46 and Z52. These vessels, though fewer in number than the British destroyer fleet, tended to be much bigger and more powerful than their allied counterparts. They served their country well in operations in the Channel, North Sea, the Far North and in the rescue of civilians from East Prussia during the final days of the war. This title describes their design, development and operational use from the fjords of Narvik to the final days of the war.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing the «British Battlecruisers 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 88» .

When war broke out in 1939, only three true battlecruisers remained in the Royal Navy including HMS ‘Hood’, the world’s largest and fastest capital ship for much of her life, which would be destroyed in action against the German battleship ‘Bismarck’. Out of the remaining two battlecruisers (‘Repulse’ and ‘Renown’) one was sunk by Japanese aircraft off Singapore, whilst the other served with distinction until the end of the war. This book traces the pre-war development of these spectacular warships, then describes their wartime exploits, using this to demonstrate their operational and mechanical performance. It examines what life was like on these wartime battlecruisers when they sailed into action.

Den BA-64 was a 4×4 light armoured car, employed by the Soviet Army from 1942 into the early 1960s for reconnaissance and liaison tasks. The BA-64B was nicknamed ‘Bobik’ by its crews. The total recorded number of BA-64s produced differs even in Russian sources. The most frequently-stated figures are 9,110 (3,901 BA-64 and 5,209 BA-64B) vehicles which were built in the GAZ automobile plant, although a memorial plaque near the pictured Nizhny Novgorod car states 9,063 cars. The Red Army representatives accepted only 8,174 BA-64s, including 3,390 with radio sets; the other vehicles were transferred to NKVD units and Soviet allies.

BA-3 (russisk: Broneavtomobil 3) var en tung pansret bil udviklet i Sovjetunionen i 1933, efterfulgt af en lidt ændret model BA-6 i 1936. Begge var hovedsagelig baseret på BA-I, den vigtigste udvikling var det nye tårn, det samme som i T-26 m 1933 og BT-5 kampvogne, og også udstyret med 45 mm hovedkanonen. Omkring 180 BA-3 biler blev bygget på Izhorskij og Vyksunskij fabrikkerne, indtil produktionen sluttede i 1935. BA-6 fulgte efter med 386 biler produceret mellem 1936 og 1938 på fabrikken i Izhorskij. Det meste af BA-3-produktionen var baseret på Ford-Timken-chassiset, en 6×4-modifikation af den amerikanske Ford AA 4×2-lastbil, men den sidste batch blev bygget på russisk version af det samme chassis - GAZ-AAA, fortsatte med at blive brugt i BA-6. Den største begrænsning af BA-3 var mobiliteten, begrænset til veje eller meget hårdt underlag, resultatet af unødvendig stor vægt. Den innovation, der forbedrede mobiliteten lidt, var hjælpesporene ("Overall"), der kunne monteres på de bageste tandemhjul og konvertere bilen til halvspor.

203 mm haubits M1931 var en 203 mm sovjetisk tung haubits. Under anden verdenskrig var det under kommando af Stavkas strategiske reserve. Det fik tilnavnet "Stalins forhammer" af tyske soldater. Disse kanoner blev brugt med succes mod tunge tyske befæstninger og i bykamp for at knuse beskyttede bygninger og bunkere. Dette våben blev brugt indtil slutningen af krigen i slaget ved Berlin, hvor Den Røde Hær ville bringe disse kanoner op på klos hold for at smadre tyske befæstninger med deres tunge 203 mm granater. I foråret 1944 blev et KV-1s tankchassis brugt til at skabe en selvkørende variant, S-51. Den kraftige rekyl fra mundingseksplosionen kastede besætningen ned fra deres sæder og beskadigede transmissionen, og den blev derfor aflyst.
