The Sturmgesch�tz, or StuG as it is more popularly known, while conceived as self-propelled, infantry support artillery, in time, formed the backbone of Germany's anti-tank operations during WWII. With more than 130 war-era photos, this volume chronicles the design, development, and deployment of the final three (of nine variants) of this famed and feared weapon. The material is arranged in four chapters, each focusing on a specific production model, or Ausf�hrung, of the Sturmgesch�tz. This volume focuses on the most plentiful model, the later war Ausf.G, as well as the Sturmgesch�tz IV, and the similar, howitzer-armed Sturmhaubitze. Comprehensive tables reveal the details of performance, as well as technical specifications of each variant. A concise, easy to read text, and detailed photo captions expose the secrets of this iconic vehicle. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
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.
This is the untold story of the Studebaker 2 1/2 ton truck of WW2.

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.
This book illustrates the history and US military service of this weapon system from its advent in the early 1950s through the first Gulf War. Widely used in Vietnam, where it had the longest range of any land-based artillery, the M107 and M110 series of vehicles, formed the backbone of US self-propelled artillery.

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.
