Paperback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Bastogne: The First Eight Days is one of S. L. A. Marshall's most tightly focused battlefield studies - a concise, ground-level reconstruction of the opening phase of the siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. It was produced for the Fighting Forces Series to give officers and enlisted men a clear, practical understanding of how American units fought under extreme pressure. The narrative follows the 101st Airborne Division, attached artillery, tank destroyer units, engineers, and scattered elements of other formations as they rushed into Bastogne to block the German breakthrough. Marshall traces the action from 18-26 December 1944, when the town was encircled and subjected to continuous attack, artillery fire, and psychological strain. A few core themes define the study: The defense succeeded not because of perfect planning but because small groups of soldiers repeatedly made quick, disciplined decisions under chaos. Coordination between infantry and artillery, especially the ability to mass fires rapidly, proved decisive in stopping German armor. Leadership at the platoon and company level mattered as much as high-level strategy; Marshall highlights how junior officers and NCOs stabilized collapsing lines and improvised defenses. The German assault forces, though powerful, were slowed by terrain, weather, and their own logistical limits, giving the Americans just enough time to hold. The arrival of clear weather and the opening of supply drops helped sustain the defenders until relief forces broke through. The book is not a sweeping history; it's a tactical autopsy, built from interviews conducted immediately after the battle. Marshall's goal was to show how real soldiers behaved in the first, most uncertain days of the siege - before Bastogne became legend. The book is loaded with charts, maps, photos, illustrations and paintings. THIS copy belonged to Richard F. Connell, in Quantico, VA in 1954, possibly a student or faculty member.

It was reprinted three times, and then with the movement to glow engines anre more sophisticated model aircraft it was allowed to go into limbo. Now with the growth of S.A.M. (Society of Antique Modelers) and the trend to nostalgia and the good old days, suddenly Air Age's Gas Models is a thing of the present. Just how timely is unbelievable until one reads the note on page 6, describing the shortage of balsa. Today's shortage of the same product has forced model kit manufacturers to all sorts of extremes to continue manufacturing the products which we cannot do without. In modeling, timeliness is not only today but also the yesterdays and the tomorrows, for which we should be very thankful." ; Contents: The K.G. lives again : how you can build a modern streamline version of the old record-breaking K.G. in which are combined super soaring qualities and a skyrocket climb -- Fokker D-8 contest scale : A realistic gas model of a famous World War fighter that performs like a contest plane -- Army Grasshopper : A flying model Taylorcraft O-57 that provides thrills of a full scale plane --- The answer fro gas fans :build this dual purpose national record holder, it can be flownin either Class A or B contests -- The winged Yankee : A high performance Class A gas model that is wasy to build and operate -- The G.E.
