Mosquito History of a Legend is a fascinating telling of the development of the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito, a British twin- engined, light bomber introduced during WWII. This lavishly illustrated book is the ultimate guide to the development of the airplane and the many variants of the Mosquito and the various missions it flew during WWII including in the Battle for Normandy and D Day. The Mosquito was as fast as the German Luftwaffe fighters that opposed it. Unusual in that its frame was constructed mostly of wood, it was nicknamed the Wooden Wonderor Mossie. The Mosquito was often flown in special raids, such as Operation Jericho (an attack on Amiens Prison in early 1944), and precision attacks against military intelligence, security, and facilities such as Gestapo headquarters. On January 30, 1943, the 10th anniversary of Hitler being made chancellor and the Nazis gaining power, a morning Mosquito attack knocked out the main Berlin broadcasting station while Hermann Göring was speaking, taking his speech off the air. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

The battles of the Somme and Ypres stand as two of the most devastating and consequential confrontations in military history.Between 1914 and 1918, the fields of Flanders and the chalky plains of the Somme Valley became synonymous with the brutal reality of industrialised warfare, where millions of men fought and died in a conflict that would reshape the modern world. The Battle of the Somme, launched on July 1, 1916, remains the bloodiest single day in British military history, with nearly 60,000 casualties suffered in just the first 24 hours. Over the following months, British, French, and Commonwealth forces would battle against determined German defenders in a grinding war of attrition that cost over one million casualties on all sides. The deafening thunder of artillery barrages, the rattle of machine guns from reinforced positions, and the desperate charges across no man’s land defined an entire generation’s experience of war.Featuring an exceptional selection of historic photographs, detailed battle maps, personal accounts, and expert analysis of the tactics and strategy employed, The Greatest Battles: The Somme and Ypres provides a comprehensive and moving account of these pivotal campaigns. From the initial optimism of 1914 to the hard-won lessons that would eventually lead to Allied victory, this volume chronicles the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the men who endured some of the most terrible conditions ever faced in warfare.
