At last, the acclaimed work of the official cartographers can be examined as they intended, in full colour. Due to the number of full-colour maps bound into volumes of 'War in the Air', previous attempts to reprint this valuable reference either floundered, or were produced with the maps in monochrome, or missing completely.

The concluding volume in the seven-part official history of the RAF in the Great War. The book consists of appendices with a wealth of factual information and interesting statistics.

The fourth in the seven volume official history of the RAF in the Great War covers naval air operations in 1917 and early 1918; and over the western front from the battle of Messines in June 1917 down to the German Spring offensives in 1918.

The third in the seven volume official history of the RAF in the Great War covers air operations in German East- and South-West Africa; air raids on Britain in 1914-16; and over the western front in the winter of 1916/17 and during the 1917 battle of Arras.

The military symbols in this classified book appeared on maps, documents, tables of organisation and orders of battle, as well as on military vehicles. The symbols illustrated replaced those in use up until May 1943, although some of the former symbols remained in use until the end of WWII. This is an essential core reference for the study of World War 2 German photographs, maps, charts, vehicles and equipment.The German armed forces used military symbols extensively on maps, in tables of organisation (war establishments), and on direction and location signposts in combat zones. Military symbols will also be seen on vehicles and equipment, with or without the divisional emblem.

This is the story of the 43rd Division from its arrival in France during Operation Overlord in June 1944 through to the end of the war with Germany. It relates how the division fought, and where, and is illustrated with 21 maps. The division was engaged on the River Odon, and at Hill 112, then in the Seine crossing, the attempted relief at Arnhem, at Groesbeek, in Operation Blackcock and the advance to Goch and Xanten. It also took part in the Battle of the Rhineland and in Operations Plunder and Varsity and made its final move to capture Bremen in 1945. A very readable, and an important, Divisional History.

The 23rd Hussars were a cavalry regiment of the British Army, raised during World War II, that was in existence from 1940 to 1946. It fought in Sherman and Churchill tanks from Normandy through the Low Countries and Ardennes to Germany. It won Battle Honours for The Odon, Bourguébus Ridge, Le Perier Ridge, Amiens 1944, Antwerp, Venraij, Venlo Pocket, Ourthe, and North-West Europe 1944-45. This is a very good 'Armoured' WW2 Regimental History and, as in all good contemporary regimentals, a Roll of Honour, lists of awards, wounded and POWs are included.

The 46th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the British Army raised in 1939 that saw distinguished service during the Second World War, fighting in the Battle of France and the Battle of Dunkirk where it was evacuated, and later in North Africa, Italy and Greece. This is a very good history written and published in occupied Austria just after the events described.Although not one of the D-Day Divisions, like many other formations it was fundamental to the success of the broad plans for the direction of the war. The fighting in North Africa and Italy is detailed. Good photos, coloured maps (based on the official sheets), rolls of commands, staff, awards, and an Order of Battle complete this very good contemporary Infantry Divisional that is scarce in its original 1948 printing.

The 52nd Lowland Division was one of very few "special" divisions of infantry, in that it was trained for mountain warfare, although it spent much time after D-Day locked in battle on the flat lands of the North European coastal plain. This history of the division starts before the war in England, and goes on to describe operations in France in 1940. For four years they then trained and waited, before forming part of 21st Army group, and fighting the Germans in France, Holland and Germany. As with all good divisional histories, it is the story of men in battle that counts, and this volume is no exception.

This detailed reference work was compiled from official sources. It records the glories of the British Army and Navy during the Boer war, listing regiment by regiment all honours and awards, mentions in despatches and officers' promotions. Originally published by the Army and Navy Gazette in 1903, it details the period November 23rd 1899 to March 6th 1903. Included also is a listing of actions, with the units involved and the regimental casualties.South African War Honours and Awards is a source work of great value to military historians and, especially, to medal collectors.

Of the several magazine-style part-works that appeared after the Great War and before the Second Word War, 'Twenty Years After - The Battlefields of 1914-1918 Then & Now' stands out as exceptional in its scope, and groundbreaking in its concept of placing original wartime photographic images alongside those taken in the late 1930s.
