La bataille du charbon en pays d'Ancenis, ou L'histoire des mines nantaises, XVIIIe-XXe siècles
Evoquer le travail du charbon à l'ouest de la France peut paraître une gageure. Or, l'ambiguïté se lève à l'étude des mines nantaises entre le XVIII e et le XXe siècles. L'histoire du bassin ligérien ne cesse en effet de nous étonner par la vitalité de ses exploitations, promues, en leurs temps, modèle d'économie pionnière. Les concessions minières perdureront jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle. Ils en existent deux d'importance avant la Révolution : Languin et Montrelais, qui se subdivisent aux siècles suivant pour en créer deux nouvelles : les Touches et Mouzeil.

The Battle Of France
Peter Cornwell tells the story of the greatest air battle of the Second World War when six nations were locked in combat over north-western Europe for a traumatic six weeks in 1940. He describes the day-to-day events as the battle unfolds, and details the losses suffered by all six nations involved: Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and, rather belatedly, Italy. As far as RAF fighter squadrons in France were concerned, it was an all-Hurricane show, yet it was the Blenheim and Battle crews who suffered the brunt of the casualties. Every aircraft lost or damaged through enemy action while operating in France is listed together with the fate of the crews. The RAF lost more than a thousand aircraft of all types over the Western Front during the six-week battle, the French Air Force 1,400, but Luftwaffe losses were even higher at over 1,800 aircraft.
