The Ottoman Army was the first to employ the 'triangular division', starting from 1910, which contained three infantry regiments of three battalions supported by an artillery regiment of three battalions. This structure went on to become the world's standard. In the years immediately prior to the outbreak of World War I, the Ottoman Army undertook a massive retraining program to rebuild its forces following the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. |

A pictorial history of the war in the air of 1914-18, this book covers the war from the first tentative acts of aggression in the air in 1914 to the employment of massive air power by the war's end. Subjects covered include: the early attempts to arm aircraft, the Zeppelin raids, the appearance of fighter "aces", the early employment of carrier-based aircraft, the development of the heavy bomber and of night flying, the formation of the United States Air Service (USAS), and the creation of the Royal Air Force - the world's first independent air arm - in 1918. Also presented are the exploits of American volunteer pilots flying with the legendary Lafayette Escadrille. The book does not restrict its scope to the Western Front; also covered are air operations in the Middle East and Central Europe, as well as the air attacks on British and German towns and cities. |

The Maori people of New Zealand were experienced field engineers and it was common practice to protect villages with surrounding entrenchments and wooden palisades, known as pas. However, it was not until 1845, with the first fighting between the Maori and the British, that it became clear just how strong and sophisticated the Maori fortifications were. For the best part of 20 years, the Maori held off the dominant and technologically superior British forces, by adapting and developing their defences in response to new British assaults. This book explores the evolution and design of Maori fortifications, and charts the course of a conflict that would ultimately see the British break the Maori pas, leading to a bitter guerrilla bush war. |

The language of the note was stiff. Written in Tokyo at the end of November, 1944, and then handed over to the Ministerio De Asuntos Exteriores in Madrid by the Japanese government's represen-tative on 2 December,
it was finally delivered by the Spanish Embassy to the United States Depart¬ment of State in Washington, D.C., on 4 Decem¬ber. As one of the rare yet rational diplomatic notesexchanged between the two primary antagonists of the Pacific War, it revealed far more about the desperate defense preparations made by Japan in its last year of war than its writers would have wished to convey. |

William Wolf brings his meticulous research to describe the little known Douglas B-18 Bolo which was America's most numerous front line bomber at the time of Pearl Harbor. Over the years the story of the airliner turned bomber has languished in obscurity and the few articles on the subject in popular aviation magazines have emphasized its faults and maligned it as a budget bomber that had few virtues. Wolf's comprehensive book is the first ever on the subject and gives the reader the definitive description and appraisal of this neglected bomber's development, testing, manufacture, the aircraft per se, and combat experience. |

A quick overview of the development of the Cromwell cruiser tank with a selection of photos. This is followed by an edited reprint of the vehicle manual for the Cromwell Mk.I, which has all sorts of handy close-up pictures and internal details. It might have been more useful if the operational Mk.IV variant had been profiled, but most details remained the same apart from the main armament. A set of 1/35th scale plans of the Mk.I and stowage drawings for several later variants round out the book. |

The lineage of the Marlin can be traced back to the PBM-4 Mariner design proposal of 1941.
The PBM-1/2, ordered in 1937, was fitted with Wright Aeronautical Company (WAC) 1,600 HP R-2600-6 engines. Follow-on PBM-3, -3C, -3R and -3S models were equipped with WAC 1,700 HP R-2600-12 engines. The final version of the series, the PBM -3D, had WAC 1,900 HP R-2600-22 engines. Even with the 1,900 HP engines, the PBM-3 series Mariner was seriously under-pow¬ered, with poor take-off, climb and single-engine performance. |
