The iconic vehicle of the British Army’s Reconnaissance Corps during World War II, the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car (LRC) saw service in several theatres of war between 1941 and 1945. The Humber LRC gave excellent service to the Reconnaissance Corps with its agility, speed and height proving to be invaluable assets to the units that operated it. Using numerous photographs, and newly commissioned artwork, this book looks at the development of the LRC, its use by the Reconnaissance Corps and its importance to British infantry divisions in the theatre in which it served.

Allkirjastatud dokumentatsioon Osprey Kirjastus le livre «Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruisers 1941–45 – NEW VANGUARD 176» .

Designed with little more than a passing nod to the international naval treaties of the inter-war period, the Imperial Japanese Navy’s heavy cruisers were fast and heavily armed. Like the other vessels of the Japanese Navy, the heavy cruisers were technologically superior to and far more innovative than their Allied rivals, whom they met in many of the major Pacific Theatre battles, including Midway and Leyte Gulf. Mark Stille continues his study of the IJN of WWII with this fascinating topic, addressing the design and development of all 18 ships in the six heavy cruiser classes, from pre-war construction and mid-war alterations, to their operational histories and eventual fates.

Allkirjastatud dokumentatsioon Osprey Kirjastus le livre «US Fast Battleships 1938–91 – NEW VANGUARD 172» .

In 1938, the United States abandoned the constraints imposed by the Washington Teaty and began work on a new class of super-battleships. This book covers the design, construction, and employment of the four Iowa-class battleships, the largest in the American fleet. During World War II, they served as guards for the aircraft carriers and their bombardments provided cover for the numerous landings in the Pacific. At the war’s end, the Japanese signed their surrender on the decks of an Iowa-class battleship, the USS Missouri. After World War II, the ships continued to serve, providing support during Korea, Vietnam, and even the first Gulf War. This book tells the full story of the greatest of the American battleships.

Allkirjastatud dokumentatsioon Osprey Kirjastus le livre «US Fast Battleships 1936–47 – NEW VANGUARD 169» .

This volume details the design, construction, and operation of the first six of the ten US fast battleships, two of the North Carolina class and four of the South Dakota class. These six battleships were all authorized in 1936 and were the first vessels built in the US since 1923. Consequently, these ships benefitted from enormous technological leaps, with improvements in ship design, power, armor, armament and the single most important improvement the use of radar guided fire control helping to change the course of the war in the Pacific. Packed with first-hand accounts, battle reports, and specially created artwork this book tells the story of these war-winning vessels.

Raamat aastast Osprey Kirjastus raamat «Briti lennukikandjad 1939–45 – UUS VANGUARD 168» .

Kuna sõda Saksamaa vastu ähvardas, lükkas Suurbritannia 1930. aastate lõpus oma vedajaprogrammi edasi. 1938. aastal käivitas kuninglik merevägi HMS Ark Royali, oma esimese spetsiaalselt ehitatud lennukikandja. Sellele järgnesid kiiresti teised, sealhulgas üliedukas Illustrious klass. Väiksemad ja karmimad kui nende Ameerika nõod, olid Briti vedajad mõeldud võitlema Põhjamere ja Vahemere kitsastes piirides. Järgmise kuue aasta jooksul võitlesid need vedajad teljeriikidega igas teatris, rünnates Itaalia mereväebaase, jahtides Bismarki ja liitudes isegi võitlusega Vaikse ookeani piirkonnas. See raamat räägib loo väikestest, kuid vastupidavatest vedajatest ja nende olulisest rollist Briti sõjategevuses.

Allkirjastatud dokumentatsioon Osprey Kirjastus le livre «US Destroyers 1942–45: Wartime classes – NEW VANGUARD 165» .

Few if any 20th century warships were more justly acclaimed than the destroyers of the U.S. Navy’s Fletcher class. Admired as they were for their advanced and rakish design, it was their record as workhorses of the Pacific War that placed them among the most battle-tested and successful fighting ships of all time. This title describes the Fletchers and their Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class derivatives, their machinery, armament, and construction, with a listing of all 343 ships by hull number and builder. It features an operational history of the 287 ships commissioned during World War II, which traces the evolution of night surface action tactics in the Solomon Islands and the parallel development of the Combat Information Center; the drive across the Pacific and liberation of the Philippines with tables showing the rapid introduction of new squadrons; and the radar pickets’ climactic stand against kamikaze aircraft at Okinawa. With summaries of losses and decorations and specially commissioned artwork, this is a definitive book on the wartime US destroyer classes.

Mootorpüstoli paadid were the “Spitfires of the Seas” of the Royal Navy. Bristling with small-calibre guns and machine guns, they served in a variety of roles during the War. In the early war period they battled against German E-boats in the English Channel, then went on the offensive, searching the enemy shore for targets of opportunity. At other times, they ran support for Motor Torpedo Boats and were used to deliver commandos on various raids. Naval Warfare expert, Angus Konstam, tells the story of these small, but destructive boats, beginning with their design and development and carrying through to their operational use in both the European and Mediterranean theatres of World War II.

With the outbreak of World War II, Britain’s Royal Navy and her fleet of battleships would be at the forefront of her defence. Yet ten of the twelve battleships were already over twenty years old, having served in World War I, and required extensive modifications to allow them to perform a vital service throughout the six long years of conflict. This title offers a comprehensive review of the seven battleships of the Nelson and King George V classes from their initial commissioning to their peacetime modifications and wartime service. Moreover, with specially commissioned artwork and a dramatic re-telling of key battles, such as the duel between the Bismark and HMS Rodney, this book will highlight what it was like on board for the sailors who risked their lives on the high seas.

Described by one soldier as “a metal box designed by a sadist to move soldiers across the water,” the Landing Craft, Infantry was a large beaching craft intended to deliver an infantry company to a hostile shore, once the beachhead was secured. The LCI and its vehicle-delivery counterpart, the Landing Ship, Medium were widely used by the allies during World War II. Later, the hulls of these ships were used as the basis for a fire support ship. While the landing ships were phased out after the Korean War, some fire support craft remained in use throughout the Vietnam War. This book tells the developmental and operational history of this important tool of American amphibious military strategy that spanned three wars.

Hoolimata sellest, et nad olid suhteliselt tundmatud võrreldes kuulsate laevadega nagu Graf Spee või Bismarke või kuulsamad U-paadid, olid abiristlejad tohutult edukad mitte ainult vaenlase laevade arvus, mida nad uppusid, vaid ka ressurssides, mis olid seotud, püüdes neid jälitada. Kuningliku mereväe abiristlejad kippusid olema kaubalaevad, mida kasutati konvoide kaitsmiseks rünnaku eest. Saksa abiristlejad olid aga tugevalt relvastatud ja kandsid tavaliselt torpeedotorusid, samuti relvi ja isegi mõnikord oma lennukeid. Need laevad olid agressiivsed röövloomad, kes otsisid mereteid pahaaimamatutele vaenlase kaupmeestele ja ei olnud mitte ainult võimelised hävitama vaenlase kaubalaevu, vaid ka kaitsma end hästi relvastatud vaenlase sõjalaevade vastu. Selles raamatus vaadeldakse 11 abiristleja spetsifikatsioone ja kujundusi, samuti nende lahinguajalugu, nende lõplikku saatust ja mõnede kuulsamate komandöride karjääri.
