More railway artillery pieces were used during this war than in any other conflict, even though at the start of the war none of the armies had railway guns and the very idea of railway artillery was comparatively new. The impetus to build and field railway-mounted guns came from the stalemate of trench warfare. The first railway guns--fielded by the French army in early 1915--were simple, improvised designs made by mounting surplus coastal defense, fortress, and naval guns onto existing commercial railway carriages. These first guns were fielded to primarily provide heavy artillery support to the frontline infantry. The British and German Armies followed suit and soon railway guns were employed all along the Western Front. The use of railway artillery expanded to other fronts too, with Russia fielding several guns in 1915 and Italy in 1916.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEven the United States--which developed its artillery in close cooperation with the French--employed several models of railway guns in the final year of the war. All told, hundreds of railway artillery pieces were fielded during the war and, at war's end, several models of super-heavy railway guns were in design for use in 1919.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book details the design and development of railway guns during World War I from the very first basic designs to massive purpose-built \"monster\" railway guns.

It was used by a squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service in Flanders in 1914. Backed by First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill more and better versions followed until, by 1915 there were about 100 of them which were then handed over to the Army. \"They searched the world for War\" as Sir Albert Stern said of them and before long there were Rolls-Royce armoured cars operating as far apart as German South West Africa, the Western Desert, Gallipoli, all over the Middle East and the north west frontier of India.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAll of them used the classic 40\/50hp Silver Ghost chassis. They were fast, silent and reliable but above all strong. \"A Rolls in the desert is above rubies\" said Lawrence of Arabia and the Duke of Westminster would have agreed with him following his famous raid to rescue the kidnapped crew of the steamship HMS Tara. At least one car accompanied the adventurous MP Oliver Locker-Lampson on his adventures in Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter the war, unable to find a better model the War Office simply copied the original Admiralty design with minor improvements. If that was not enough the Royal Air Force also acquired some to support their operations in the Middle East.

They also served in Ireland and even, briefly in Shanghai.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 11th Hussars still had Rolls-Royces in Egypt when the war against Italy began and the youngest of these was over fifteen years old when they went into action, but after that their numbers dwindled as newer vehicles came along.

This book examines the story of the Panzer's more mysterious ancestors, the little-known panzers of the Great War. Germany was very slow to develop armored vehicles compared to Britain and France. Early attempts such as the Marienwagen of 1915 were technical failures, discouraging further design efforts until the utility of the tank was proven by the British and French in 1916-17. Efforts to catch-up proved difficult, and only a couple dozen German A7V tanks were completed in time to take part in the final campaigns of 1918. As a result, the majority of German panzer units actually used captured British tanks, the Beutepanzer. This book will trace the development of German panzers of the Great War, including the A7V and its intended but unfinished stablemates. Also included will be an overview of the use of panzers by the German Army in World War I including both A7V and Beutepanzer units.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRelated Titles\u003cbr\u003e\nThe First World War: The War to End All Wars (Essential Histories Special)\u003cbr\u003e\nBritish Mark I Tank 1916 (New Vanguard)\u003cbr\u003e\nWorld War I Trench Warfare (1\u0026amp;2) (Elite)\u003cbr\u003e\nFortifications of the Western Front 1914-18 (Fortress)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\nEarly Roots\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Early Tank Program\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cambrai Shock\u003cbr\u003e\nA7V Variants\u003cbr\u003e\nPanzers in Training\u003cbr\u003e\nInto Combat\u003cbr\u003e\nRebuilding the Tank Units\u003cbr\u003e\nGerman Armored Cars in Combat\u003cbr\u003e\nFinal Tank Battles\u003cbr\u003e\nPlan 1919\u003cbr\u003e\nFurther Reading\u003cbr\u003e\nColor Plate Commentary\u003cbr\u003e\nIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67673474826539,"sku":"20007","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/german-panzers-1914-18-by-sj-zaloga-new-osprey-new-vanguard_20007_main_original.jpg?v=1791268646"},{"product_id":"german-commerce-raiders-1914-18-by-rk-noppen-new-osprey-new-vanguard","title":"German Commerce Raiders 1914-18 by RK Noppen: NEW Osprey New Vanguard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osprey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015 1st\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, stiff card illustrated cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e ONS, NEW, Fine, Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO.N.S.= OLD NEW STOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e and refers to an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.

To that end pre-war German naval strategists allocated a number of cruisers and armed, fast ocean liners, as well as a complex and globe-spanning supply network to support them - known as the Etappe network. This book, drawing on technical illustrations and the author's exhaustive research, explains the often overlooked role that the commerce raiders played in World War I. Whilst exploring the design and development of the ships, it also describes their operational history, how they tied up a disproportionate amount of the British fleet on lengthy pursuits, and how certain raiders such as the SMS Emden were able to wreak havoc across the oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Commerce Raiders\u003cbr\u003e\nCommerce Raiding Operations\u003cbr\u003e\nConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\nIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67673475907883,"sku":"20008","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/german-commerce-raiders-1914-18-by-rk-noppen-new-osprey-new-vanguard_20008_main_original.jpg?v=1791268653"},{"product_id":"german-battleships-1-1914-18-by-rk-noppen-new-osprey-new-vanguard","title":"German Battleships (1) 1914-18 by RK Noppen: NEW Osprey New Vanguard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osprey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010 1st\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, stiff card illustrated cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e ONS, NEW, Fine, Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO.N.S.= OLD NEW STOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e and refers to an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.

Zaloga, one of the world's leading armor authorities, uncovers the history of one of the least-known aspects of Germany's World War II Panzers: the extensive use of captured armored vehicles, “Beutepanzer.” The best came from the fall of France, and the Somua S 35 and Panhard 178 proved popular in German service. Others, such as the antique Renault FT, were used for secondary tasks such as anti-partisan missions and airfield protection.

At the time, it was the largest artillery piece of its kind in the world and a closely guarded secret. When war broke out, two of the howitzers were rushed directly from the factory to Liege where they quickly destroyed two forts and compelled the fortress to surrender. After repeat performances at Namur, Maubeuge and Antwerp, German soldiers christened the howitzers 'Grosse' or 'Dicke Berta' (Fat or Big Bertha) after Bertha von Krupp, owner of the Krupp armament works that built the howitzers. The nickname was soon picked up by German press which triumphed the 42cm howitzers as Wunderwaffe (wonder weapons), and the legend of Big Bertha was born. To the Allies, the existence of the howitzers came as a complete surprise and the sudden fall of the Belgian fortresses spawned rumors and misinformation, adding to the 42cm howitzer's mythology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn reality, 'Big Bertha\" was but the last in a series of large-caliber siege guns designed by the German Army for the purpose of destroying concrete fortifications. It was also only one of two types of 42cm calibre howitzers built for the army by Krupp and only a small part of the siege artillery available to the German Army at the outset of the war. Such were the successes of the German siege guns that both the French and British Armies decided to field their own heavy siege guns and, after the German guns handily destroyed Russian forts during the German offensives in the east in 1915, the French Army abandoned their forts. However, by 1916, as the war settled into a stalemate, the effectiveness of the siege guns diminished until, by war's end, 'Big Bertha' and the other siege guns were themselves outmoded.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book details the design and development of German siege guns before and during World War I, to include four models of 30.5cm mortars, two versions of 28cm howitzers, and two types of 42cm howitzers (including 'Big Bertha'); in total, eight different types of siege guns. Accompanying the text are many rare, never before published, photographs of 'Big Bertha' and the other German siege guns.

This was the first navy of the United States and much of the fleet was comprised of ships that had been modified from existing vessels, converted into warships to provide a crucial service during the American Revolutionary War. Despite having no real funding, this unique fleet had a surprising amount of success against the might of the Royal Navy, and this title discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each design, and the differences between European and American warships of the time. With a close look at how these ships performed in key battles, as well as the exploits of John Paul Jones - the founding father of the United States Navy - this is a complete, illustrated overview of the ships' service and development until France's entry into the war and the subsequent decline in importance of the Continental Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign and development\u003cbr\u003e\nOperational History\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ships\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67673493602603,"sku":"20016","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/ships-of-the-american-revolutionary-navy-by-m-lardas-new-osprey-new-vanguard_20016_main_original.jpg?v=1791268720"},{"product_id":"nile-river-gunboats-1882-1918-by-a-konstam-new-osprey-new-vanguard","title":"Nile River Gunboats 1882–1918 by A.Konstam: NEW Osprey New Vanguard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osprey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009 1st\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, stiff card illustrated cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e ONS, NEW, Fine, Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO.N.S.= OLD NEW STOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e and refers to an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.

Following the start of the El Alamein offensive in October 1942, the SAS used jeeps effectively in reconnoitring and ambushing the retreating Afrika Korps. After the conclusion of the North African campaign, the Willys underwent several small but significant changes, including the introduction of the .303 Browning machine gun.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBetween June and October 1944, the SAS brigade operated deep inside Occupied France, harassing Germans reinforcements heading to Normandy, calling up air strikes on installations, and carrying out reconnaissance missions - all made possible with jeeps dropped by the RAF. Jeeps were also used in the push into Germany in the spring of 1945. Transported across the Rhine in \"Buffalo\" amphibious landing craft, they formed part of the vanguard of the Allied advance, and their agility, speed, and firepower proved crucial in crushing fanatical pockets of Nazi resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1952, 22 SAS regiment adopted the Series 1 Land Rover -- introduced in 1948 -- as the successor to the Willys jeep. A decade later, the Regiment updated to the Series IIA 90 Land Rover which had also seen service in the Oman and Aden where its distinctive color led to the \"Pink Panther\" nickname. In the 1970s, the SAS begin using Range Rovers for covert operations while the Land Rover 110 HCPU became their new Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) in the 1991 Gulf War.

Three major rivers run through the Delta, the Song Hou Giang (aka Bassac) and the Song Mekong, which broke into three large rivers (Song My Tho, Ham Luong, and Go Chien). The Nhon Trach delineated the Delta's eastern edge. In all there were some 1,500 miles of natural navigable waterways and 2,500 miles of man-made canals and channels. The canal system was begun in 800 AD and its expansion continued up to World War II. The nation's capital, Saigon, lies on the Delta's northern edge. Few roads and highways served the region with sampans and other small watercraft via the canals being the main means of transportation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt least 70,000 Viet Cong (VC) were scattered over the area controlling up to a quarter of the population. Three Army of the Republic Vietnam (ARVN) divisions as well as various paramilitary forces battled the VC in the marshes, forests, and paddies. In 1965 the military situation in the Delta had deteriorated and the decision was taken to shore things up by committing a joint Army and Navy Mobile Riverine Force. This force was unique in its composition, mission, and the special craft in which it operated. The Army component was the 2d Brigade, 9th Infantry Division; the Navy component was River Assault Flotilla One.

Field artillery remained the primary killer on the battlefield, often responsible for three-quarters of combat casualties inflicted.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRedressing the balance, this book surveys the major Wehrmacht guns of the war, and the basic organizational structure of the German field artillery. Its primary focus is on the divisional field guns, especially the lFH 18 10.5cm field howitzer and the 15cm sFH 18 field howitzer that formed the backbone of German artillery. A brief survey is also made of the infantry guns used at the regimental level, and of corps-level heavy artillery. The issue of the use of\"Beutewaffen,” captured war-booty field guns, is also looked at, as is the Nebelwerfer and schwere Wurfgerät rocket artillery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith archive photos and meticulously detailed new illustrations, this book provides a concise study of the German Army's big guns of World War II, how they were organized and how they were used, both on the Eastern and Western fronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery organization\u003cbr\u003e\nInfantry guns\u003cbr\u003e\nLight infantry guns\u003cbr\u003e\nHeavy infantry guns\u003cbr\u003e\nDivisional artillery\u003cbr\u003e\nOld and eccentric: the 7.5cm field gun\u003cbr\u003e\nBackbone of the artillery: the 10.5cm light field howitzer\u003cbr\u003e\n10.5cm gun battery organization\u003cbr\u003e\n10.5cm leFH 18 operation\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 10.5cm mountain howitzer\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 15cm heavy field howitzer\u003cbr\u003e\nGHQ artillery\u003cbr\u003e\n10cm gun\u003cbr\u003e\n12.8cm K 81 gun\u003cbr\u003e\n15cm guns\u003cbr\u003e\n17cm gun K 18 in Mörserlafette\u003cbr\u003e\n21cm Mörser 18\u003cbr\u003e\n21cm Kanone\u003cbr\u003e\nBeutegeschütze\u003cbr\u003e\nRocket artillery\u003cbr\u003e\n15cm Nebelwerfer 41\u003cbr\u003e\n21cm Nebelwerfer 42\u003cbr\u003e\n28\/32cm schwere Wurfgerät\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery in combat\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery on the Eastern Front 1941–45\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery on the Western Front 1944–45\u003cbr\u003e\nFurther reading\u003cbr\u003e\nIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67673521652011,"sku":"20037","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/german-field-artillery-of-world-war-ii-new-osprey-new-vanguard_20037_main_original.jpg?v=1791268845"},{"product_id":"foreign-panthers-by-mp-robinson-t-seignon-new-osprey-new-vanguard","title":"Foreign Panthers by MP Robinson \u0026 T.Seignon: NEW Osprey New Vanguard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osprey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022 1st\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, stiff card illustrated cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e ONS, NEW, Fine, Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO.N.S.= OLD NEW STOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e and refers to an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.
