Adolf Galland was the most famous German fighter pilot of World War II, and until his death in February 1996 he was the last surviving senior German combat commander of that war. An "ace" pilot with more than 100 air-to-air victories in the West, he was also the last living recipient of the supreme decoration for gallantry and leadership - the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, awarded to only 27 men among the millions who served. His combat career spanned an extraordinary period in aviation history, from flying open-cockpit biplanes in the Spanish Civil War, through command of a wing of Messerschmitt Bf109s in the fiercest fighting of the Battle of Britain, to leadership of a unique "aces' squadron" flying the world's first jet fighters against impossible odds in the last weeks of the war. But Adolf Galland's story is much more than the straightforward account of a fighter pilot's war. His meteoric promotion made him, at 30, the youngest general in the German armed forces; and his appointment as inspector-general of fighter forces brought him into regular and sometimes perilous contact with the leaders of the Third Reich. He was the recipient of Hitler's private musings about his global war aims; he was the fearless champion of the fighting pilots against the ranting disloyalty of Goering; he worked closely with the brilliant munitions minister Albert Speer; and in the end his outspoken refusal to compromise brought dismissal, and investigation by the Gestapo - his life or death finally turning on the result of a single telephone call.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good Plus. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1993. pp. Full colour images. "'During the 1960s, Triumph's model range was already complicated for a relatively small company. There were large and small sports car ranges, and large and small saloon ranges, with the small saloons being subdivided into two types during the second half of the decade. Nowhere among them was a grand tourer, and nowhere in Triumph's post-1945 history had there ever been one. Yet, at one of the least auspicious times in its entire history, Triumph chose to develop one in the shape of the Stag.' … The story of the Triumph Stag - its ancestry, launch and development, its performance in the marketplace and the changes wrought on it after production had ended — is told here in comprehensive style by two historians noted for their depth of knowledge on the Stag. Also provided are valuable appendices on specifications, identification, production figures, colour and trim changes, performance figures and comparisons with rival cars. … In a recent classic car magazine poll, the Triumph Stag was voted the best all-round classic available for £10,000 or less. It was also voted the best-looking. For its many devoted owners and enthusiasts, this first full history of the Stag will be essential reading." Unclipped jacket has light wear to edges and corners. Book has gilt titles to spine. Previous owner's name to top of FFEP. Boards, pages and contents are in excellent condition. No inscriptions.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. 128 pages. Oversized volume, measuring 12 inches by 8-1/2 inches. Profusely illustrated with many color photographs and some line drawings/diagrams. Includes Introduction; Mauser Schnellfeuer-Pistole; Maschinenpistole 40/1; Maschinengewehr 34; Maschinengewehr 42; Fallschirmjaegergewehr 42/1; Fallschirmjaegergewehr 42/11; Sturmgewehr 44. Also contains Sturmgewehr 44, and an Afterword: The Postwar Legacy. Select Bibliography. Technical Specifications. In this attractive new treatment, the seven classic automatic weapons of the World War II German Wehrmacht are illustrated in color photographs with a difference. Detailed sequences show them in close-up; during step-by-step field stripping; and during handling, loading, and live-firing trials in outdoor settings, by gunners wearing authentic period uniforms. The illustrations are accompanied by concise accounts of each weapon's historical and technical background, and by accessible, non-technical descriptions of its actual firing characteristics. The author was a US Army Sergeant First Class at the time this was published. He was a former infantryman, tank crewman, and military intelligence analyst. He became an internationally recognized magazine and book author, photo-journalist, archivist, lecturer, and authority on military small arms of the 20th century. He has been shooting, evaluating, and writing about the world's infantry weapons for more than two decades. As one example, the FG 42 (German: Fallschirmjägergewehr 42, "paratrooper rifle 42") is a selective-fire 7.92×57mm Mauser automatic rifle produced in Nazi Germany during World War II. The weapon was developed specifically for the use of the Fallschirmjäger airborne infantry in 1942 and was used in very limited numbers until the end of the war. It combined the characteristics and firepower of a light machine gun in a lightweight form slightly shorter (but considerably bulkier and heavier) than the standard-issue Karabiner 98k bolt-action infantry rifle. Considered one of the most advanced weapon designs of World War II, the FG 42 influenced post-war small arms development, and many features of its design, such as general shape, stock style, gas-rotating bolt operation (itself copied from the Lewis gun) and sheet metal and plastic construction were copied by the US Army when they developed the M60 machine gun. At the time of the Battle of Crete (Operation Mercury), German Fallschirmjäger (parachute infantry) were equipped with the same assortment of small arms as the Heer, carrying only 9×19mm Parabellum chambered pistols and hand grenades on them during parachute jumps, with 9×19mm Parabellum submachine guns, 7.92×57mm Mauser chambered rifles and crew-served weapons stored separately in containers that were dropped from the wing of the exit craft. The German RZ parachute harness, with one single riser and two straps attached to the body, making the paratrooper land on his hands and knees in a forward roll, did not allow for heavier equipment such as rifles and machine guns to be safely carried during jumps. At Crete, long-range rifle and machine gun fire from dug-in Commonwealth defenders inflicted heavy casualties on the outgunned German paratroopers in the early stages of battle as they attempted to retrieve their support weapons from containers scattered all over the battlefield. These combat experiences demonstrated the need for a rifle that could be carried on the person of the paratrooper. The American M41 Johnson LMG has many parallels with the contemporary FG 42. Both had in-line stocks, fed from the left side, and both fired from the open bolt in automatic mode and closed bolt in semi-automatic mode. Despite these similarities, there is no evidence that either weapon had any effect on the design of the other. As they were both seeking to solve similar problems, it is reasonable to expect that each weapon's respective engineers approached these problems similarly but independently, unaware of the developments of their counterparts. It is not easy to determine the significance of the FG 42 in terms of weapons history. With a slightly longer barrel and belt-feeding the weapon would have been an excellent light machine gun. Its designer Louis Stange knew that, he also built a prototype with belt feed. Some features, such as the details of the gas-operated bolt selection process, were studied by US Army engineers after the war. These, along with some aspects of the MG 42 general-purpose machine gun, are commonly reported to have been incorporated in the similarly troubled M60 general-purpose machine gun. The last known derivatives of the FG 42 were the Swiss Sturmgewehr 52 and M60 machine gun. Detailed sequences show them in close-up; during step-by-step field stripping; and during handling, loading, and live-firing trials in outdoor settings, by gunners wearing authentic period uniforms. …
