The fireship was the guided missile of the sailing era. Packed with incendiary (and sometimes explosive) material, it was aimed at its highly inflammable wooden target by volunteers who bailed out into a boat at the last moment. It often missed, but the panic it invariably caused among crews who generally could not swim and had no method of safely abandoning ship did the job for it - the most famous example being the attack off Gravelines in 1588 which led to the rout of the Spanish Armada. Although it was a tactic used in antiquity, its successful revival in the Armada campaign led to the adoption of the fireship as an integral part of the fleet. | |

Based on contemporary records and paintings, this book identifies each cavalry and infantry regiment and illustrates changes in uniforms, their facing colours and the nature and shape of lace worn by officers, NCOs and private soldiers from 1751 to 1783. Regiments that served in the American War of Independence are noted and the book includes more than 200 full-colour plates of uniforms and distinctions. Divided into four sections, it not only details the cavalry and infantry uniforms of the period but also the tartans of the Highland regiments, some of which were short-lived, and the distinction of the Guards' regiments. | |

In servise with America's armed forces, the McDonnell Phantom II fighter represented - for all its extraordinary angularity - an astonishing masterpeice of design ingenuity and commercial persistence. It moreover reversed the time-honoured, but hitherto apparently irreversible convention whereby naval air forces had had to rest content with deck-landing adaptions of aircraft primarily avolved for shore-based operations. | |

Туполев. Истребитель И-8 (АНТ-13). Создание АНТ-13 необычно для КБ А.Н.Туполева. После прекращении работ по машине АНТ-12 инженер В.М. Родионов предложил на основе отставленного проекта все же построить истребитель в порядке общественной инициативы, т.е. в нерабочее время. В те годы такие идеи находили всеобщую поддержку. Именно поэтому машина имела в КБ еще одно название - "Общественный самолет". Но это обстоятельство стало причиной того, что в план опытного строительства АНТ-13 включен не был. Тем не менее в декабре 1929 г. УВВС выдало ТТТ. В них входит не только летно-техническне, но и технологические требования. Техническое руководство по созданию истребителя А.Н.
