The 1914-18 Great War saw the first real use of air power. Balloons
had been used for escape and for observation in earlier wars, but
this was the first time that fleets of aircraft had been used for
attack and defence. Highly Recommended.

The author has an impressive list of titles that deal with important
periods in US history. This book provides a study of one of the key
stages of US expansion in North America. Strongly Recommended.
There has been little published about Operation Epsom as a detailed
review of this vital stage of the Liberation of Europe. The author
has provided an insightful account with a mass of illustration in
the form of maps and photographs. Outstanding. Highly Recommended.
The Battle of France depended on surprise attack by large mechanized
and armoured forces. This depended on attack through Belgium, and
that depended on overwhelming the Belgian forts guarding key river
crossings. The authors have produced an enthralling account of how
German Special Forces fought to take and hold the key river crossings
to allow the main German Army to swarm into France.
Very Highly Recommended.
