Ideja o težki križarki se je pojavila po prvi svetovni vojni in je bila tesno povezana z omejitvami, ki jih je določila medvojna Washingtonska pomorska pogodba. Koncept oklepnih križark pred prvo svetovno vojno je bil opuščen, vendar je namesto njih admiraliteta videla prostor za močne križarke, ki so lahko patruljirale po morskih poteh britanskega imperija in ki so bile dovolj dobro oborožene, da so lahko uničile sovražnikove trgovske križarke. Rezultat je bila skupina britanskih vojnih ladij, znanih kot "Washington Treaty Cruisers", ki so naredile vse, kar je admiraliteta želela, vendar so bile v skladu z omejitvami, ki jih je določila pogodba. Te impresivne križarke so bile visoke, prostorne in veličastne - popolni mirnodobni ambasadorji britanske moči. V vojni so imeli tudi precejšen udarec. Med drugo svetovno vojno je trinajst težkih križark Kraljeve mornarice služilo na vseh prizoriščih vojne, ne glede na to, ali so se soočili z Bismarckom v severnem Atlantiku ali prenašali napade kamikaz na Pacifiku.

Podpisana knjiga Osprey Publishing the magazine «Yangtze River Gunboats 1900–49 – NEW VANGUARD 181» .

From the end of the 19th century through the first half of the 20th, most Western powers maintained a naval presence in China. These gunboats protected traders and missionaries, safeguarded national interests, and patrolled Chinese rivers in search of pirates. It was a wild, lawless time in China as ruthless warlords fought numerous small wars to increase their power and influence. This book covers the gunboats of all the major nations that stationed naval forces in China, including America, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Japan, and looks at such famous incidents as the Japanese bombing of the USS Patay and the dramatic escape of the HMS Amethyst from Communist forces in 1947, which marked the end of the gunboat era.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have been all-purpose ships, indispensable in roles large and small – from delivering the mail at sea to screening other vessels and, where larger ships were not present, forming the front line in battle. This title details the 169 ships of ten classes introduced in the 1930s: early 1,500-tonners and 1,850-ton destroyer leaders designed to conform to the 1930 London Naval Treaty, plus the successor 1,570-ton Sims class and 1,620- and 1,630-ton Benson and Gleaves classes. In wartime, most 1,500-tonners and leaders initially saw front line duty in the Pacific but were relegated to secondary assignments as newer vessels arrived; while the later 1,620- and 1,630-tonners became the standard destroyers of the Atlantic War. This volume reveals the fascinating design story behind these pioneering classes – from the constraints of peacetime treaties to advances in propulsion engineering, and wartime modifications. With an operational overview of their service and tables listing all ships by class, builder, and initial squadron, this is the definitive guide to the pre-war US destroyer classes.

The Italian army, unlike those of the British and French, did not use tanks in combat during World War I and, by November 1918, only one training unit equipped with French Schneider and Renault tanks had been formed. Consequently, during the 1920s the Italian army had just one single tank type in its armoured inventory – the Fiat 3000. Only in 1927 was the first tank unit formed as a branch of the infantry and not as an independent organization, while the cavalry rejected the idea of both tanks and armoured cars and decided to stand by the use of horses for its mounted units. Between 1933 and March 1939, a further 2,724 CV 33 / L 3 tanks were built, 1,216 of which were exported all over the world. By the time Italy entered the war in June 1940, the army had 1,284 light tanks, 855 of which were in combat units, including three armoured divisions. Variants of the CV 33 / L 3 tanks included flame-throwers, bridge-layers, recovery vehicles, and a radio command tank. Some L 3 tanks were still in use in 1945, by both the Germans and the German-allied Italian units of the Repubblica Sociale.

The first deployment of the V-1 was in June 1944 when, following two years of tests, Hitler gave the order to attack England. Known to the Allies as the Buzz Bomb or Doodlebug, the V-1 was the world’s first cruise missile. This book explores the V-1 in detail, from its initial concept, first use in 1944, the various Allied counter-measures, and the later use of the V-1 during the Battle of the Bulge. The major foreign derivatives, including the US copy JB-2 Loon and numerous post-war Soviet variants, are also covered.

V Grumman F-14 Tomcat je nadzvočno, dvomotorno, dvosedežno, spremenljivo-sweep krilo lovsko letalo. Tomcat je bil po propadu projekta F-111B razvit za program Mornariški bojevnik (VFX) ameriške mornarice. F-14 je bil prvi od ameriških lovcev najstniških serij, ki so bili zasnovani tako, da vključujejo izkušnje zračnega boja proti lovcem MiG med vietnamsko vojno.

Prihod kombiniranih oborožitvenih operacij v 2. svetovni vojni je ustvaril potrebe po specializiranih oklepnih vozilih. V primeru ambibijskih napadov se je vprašanje, kako najbolje pristati tanke na plaži. Čeprav je bila razvita vrsta specializiranih pristajalnih plovil, je dieppe racija leta 1942 spodbujala razvoj tankov, ki bi jih bilo mogoče napotiti z nadaljnjih off-shore, da bi omejili ranljivost LCT plovila. Oprema, ki so jo razvili, je bila prvič uporabljena med operacijo Husky na Siciliji julija 1943, nato pa za operacije Avalanche (Salerno, september 1943), Shingle (Anzio, januar 1944) in Overlord (Normandija, junij 1944). Tanke DD, ki so jih proizvajale ZDA, so v času Overlorda uporabljale tako zda kot britanske sile, in ponovno leta 1945 med reškimi prehodi. Sprva so bili dogodki v pacifiškem teaterju ločeni od dogodkov v Evropi. Marinci so leta 1943 iz iztovarja Tarawa izvedeli, da nepripravljenih tankov ni mogoče varno pristati niti v plitvi vodi. DD tanki niso bili nikoli resno obravnavani za Pacifik, zato so iskali druge rešitve. Podrobna študija specializiranih amfibijskih tankov ZDA, to je naslov, ki se bo pritožil na tiste, ki jih zanimajo tako pacifiška kot evropska kina, modelerji in zbiralci.

V Panzerkampfwagen V Panther is one of the best-known German tanks in existence and is considered one of the greatest tanks of World War II. When in June of 1941, Germany invaded Russia, Panzertruppe encountered KV series and T-34/76 tanks, far superior in firepower and armour protection to any Panzer in service at the time. It was therefore decided to design a new more powerful medium tank, which could be quickly put into production. This book details the result, the Medium Battle Tank, available for service in January 1943. Later models ensured that it became one of the most feared tanks of WWII.
