The Early Air War in the Pacific
During the first 10 months of the war in the Pacific, Japan achieved air supremacy with its carrier and land-based forces. But after major setbacks at Midway and Guadalcanal, the empire's expansion stalled, in part due to flaws in aircraft design, strategy and command. This book offers a fresh analysis of the air war in the Pacific during the early phases of World War II. Details are included from two expeditions conducted by the author that reveal the location of an American pilot missing in the Philippines since 1942 and clear up a controversial account involving famed Japanese ace Saburo Sakai and U.S. Navy pilot James "Pug" Southerland.
Twelve Days in May
On May 10, 1940, the mighty German air force, numbering over 3000 aircraft of the Luftwaffe, invaded Northern France and the Low Countries. Facing them were the French Armee de l'Air and the small air arms of neutral Belgium and Holland. Even though the English sent reinforcements, they could not halt the German advance. Here is a meticulously researched book producing the first comprehensive account of air operations from both sides. The book also includes photographs never before published.
Diver! Diver! Diver!
V-1s were very difficult targets to intercept and shoot down. Nevertheless, many pilots became 'diver aces', one pilot alone accounting for 60 of these pilot-less aircraft. Every known kill is recorded in this book with many dramatic stories from the pilots themselves and eyewitnesses on the ground.
Death of the Wehrmacht
A deft, lively, and highly readable history of the demise of the German way of war. As the allies found an antidote to the "shock and awe" approach of the Wehrmacht, the once mighty German army underwent an epic fall from remarkable operational victories to crushing operational defeats, forced to take on a defensive stance in a war it could never win.
Battle Over Malta
From 1940 to 1942, supremacy of the skies above Malta was bitterly fought over by aircraft of the RAF, Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica. The RAF eventaully gained the upper hand, but not before the loss of hundreds of aircraft on all sides. The desperate air battles have since passed into legend - not only on the island itself, but further afield. Although the exploits of three RAF Gloster Gladiator biplane fighters named Faith, Hope and Charity came to epitomize this epic struggle, the reality is that many more aircraft fought - and were lost - in the battle over Malta.
