 Название: US Army Paratrooper in the Pacific Theater 1943–45 Автор: Gordon L. Rottman Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/165 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF Страниц: 66 Размер: 7 Mb Язык: English
The two major Army units that operated in the Pacific - the 11th Airborne Division and the 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team (PRCT) launched small-scale operations on extremely difficult, if not, outright dangerous, terrain, while also conducting amphibious assaults, fighting on jungled hills, swamps and mud. The two units were very different, with the 503rd PRCT being reserved for special purpose missions and the 11th Airborne Division occupying a more traditional role. This title will deal with the background to these two units and their training, before detailing the specific equipment used in the theatre and, finally and most importantly, the combat experience at a personal level of the US Army Paratrooper in the Pacific.

 Название: RAF Fighter Command Pilot The Western Front 1939–42 Автор: Mark Barber Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/164 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF Страниц: 66 Размер: 4 Mb Язык: English
The recent 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, combined with the threat of significant cuts to the current RAF, have highlighted the importance of Fighter Command in the early days of World War II once more. The role of the "few”, as described by Churchill, during the Battle of Britain has been the subject of much mythologizing both at the time and in the years since. This title will put Fighter Command in context; describing the lack of funding and attention which it received during the interwar period, until it was almost too late. The myth of the fighter pilot will be humanized, with first-hand accounts quoted which put nervous but brave human beings from all walks of life in the cockpit.

 Название: Spartan Warrior 735–331 BC Автор: Duncan B Campbell Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/163 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF Страниц: 66 Размер: 6 Mb Язык: English
Immortalized through their exploits at the battle of Thermopylae under the legendary Leonidas, as well as countless other victories throughout the classical period, the Spartans were some of the best-trained, -organized and most-feared warriors of the ancient world. The small state of Sparta, known to the Ancient Greeks as Lakedaimon, developed a unique warrior society that used serfs and non-citizens to do all of the manual work, leaving the free-born men of Sparta free to concentrate all of their energies on warfare.

 Название: Roman Republican Legionary 298–105 BC Автор: Nic Fields Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/162 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF Страниц: 68 Размер: 8 Mb Язык: English
Soon after the Caudine Forks fiasco in 321 BC, the tactical formation adopted by the Roman Army underwent a radical change. Introduced as part of the Servian reforms, the legion had originally operated as a Greek-style phalanx. Now, however, the Romans adopted the manipular system, whereby the legion was split into distinct battle lines, each consisting of tactical subunits, the maniples. Even though still a citizen militia, recruited from property owners supplying their own war gear, it was the manipular legion that faced Pyrrhus and his elephants, the Gauls and their long swords, Hannibal and his tactical genius and the Macedonians and their pikes to name but a few of its formidable opponents.

 Название: Tunnel Rat in Vietnam Автор: Gordon L. Rottman Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия/номер в серии: Warrior/161 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF Страниц: 66 Размер: 6 Mb Язык: English
In 1965, soon after the first US combat troops had arrived in Vietnam, it was realized that in some areas the Viet Cong had developed vast tunnel complexes in which to hide from the enemy. It was long known that such complexes existed, but it was not realized just how extensive they were in some areas, how important they were to the Viet Cong, and how difficult it was to detect and neutralize them. At first infantrymen volunteered to enter the tunnels armed with only pistols and flashlights - the 'tunnel runners' were born, known to the Australians as 'tunnel ferrets'.
