Germany's Tiger tank, whether in the form of the Tiger I or later Tiger II (King Tiger), was the most feared tank of WWII. Despite production totaling fewer than 2,000 units, its heavy armor, its power, and perhaps the even more powerful Nazi propaganda machine ensured that the Tiger remains well known over seven decades after last being on the battlefield. Through more than 175 photos, this volume chronicles the design, development, and deployment of this famed German tank. Full-color photographs of rare surviving examples from around the globe augment carefully selected war-era photos in bringing this tank back to life. Comprehensive tables reveal the details of performance and technical specifications of each variant. A concise, easy-to-read text and detailed photographic captions expose the secrets of this iconic tank. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
This is the untold story of the Studebaker 2 1/2 ton truck of WW2. Although the vehicle was well designed, handsome and an excellent performer by all accounts, few but the most diehard Studebaker enthusiasts know of this truck's significance in WW2, particularly as compared to the "original deuce" - the GMC CCKW. With nearly 200,000 US6's built, one might expect to see more of these attractive vehicles still around, whether earning their keep at a local farm or showing up at a car show. This book is the product of over 20 years of careful research that led the author, David Doyle, around the globe, ferreting out the story of one of the unsung heroes of WW2, the Studebaker US6. Over 600 high resolution pictures including many never before seen images from the Studebaker archives and private collections. Almost all of the photographs are either full page (8x10) or half page with captions. The printing is of the finest quality on glossy paper. Includes a 20+ page appendix/chart with production details including variants by year, registration numbers & contract and more.

The B-17 Flying Fortress dropped more bombs than any other US aircraft in WWII and is arguably the iconic bomber of that epic conflict. During the 10 years in which it was produced, a total of 12,731 of the B-17 heavy bombers rolled off the assembly lines of Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, and Lockheed's subsidiary Vega. First flown in 1935, the aircraft was repeatedly modified, upgraded, and perfected in response to combat experience. Also highlights the roles played by individual aircraft and their crews, including Memphis Belle, which completed 25 missions over enemy territory; Stage Door Canteen, christened by Winston Churchill's daughter; and All American, which demonstrated the incredible toughness of the Flying Fortress by returning safely to base despite having its tail nearly sheared off by a Messerschmitt.
The M151 was intended as a lightweight, high-mobility replacement for the M38A1, itself a successor to the famed WWII jeep. Dubbed the Military Utility Tactical Truck or MUTT by the military, GIs almost universally referred to the vehicle as a jeep. The series' service life spanned more than 40 years and four manufacturers.
Dundee's extra-ordinary journalist... Dundee spy - Jessie Jordan - was brought to justice not only by the conscience of one specific individual but, was supported by a team of highly trained experts who hailed from within the ranks of the British Secret Services. This team of specialists worked as a single unit in a collaboration from Bletchley Park and with the USA and the international secret services community, who had targeted specific individuals operating as a global 'secret unit' and who were passing critical information regarding new age technology to the Wermacht. But, more importantly, the German Abwehr had embarked on a murderous campaign which was politically motivated, and if, was allowed to unfold we would have witnessed the death of an American Colonel, and would have witnessed a certain 'shift of blame' toward the Soviet Bloc and the cold war, of which, may have had very significant outcomes that 'could' have led to a much longer and colder World War II.
