The Japanese Imperial Army was the most powerful force in the Far East during the 1930s and early 1940s, and this photographic history is the ideal introduction to it. In a vivid selection of archive images, most of which have not before been published, Philip Jowett covers its role in a series of conflicts, beginning with the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 through its final defeat in the Pacific War in August 1945. He describes the development of the army, its structure, organization, and expansion during these years, and illustrates its actions in a series of campaigns that are often overlooked, including those in China between 1931 and 1937 and the Nomonhan campaign against the Soviet Union in 1938.

Although all the major nations involved in World War I almost simultaneously adopted a policy of long-distance bombing attacks, only Britain and Germany had the industrial backing to carry out this policy on any appreciable scale. This is the story of the evolution of the Handley Page and Vickers bombers originally developed to carry out strategic bombardment of German targets but which, adapted to serve as passenger transports, became post-war airliners and long-range exploration aircraft. More than ninety photos, eight color profiles, black-and-white line drawings, color covers. Fifty pages, soft cover, landscape format.

Before the advent of radar and other electronic devices aboard warships, the jobs of seeking out the enemy and spotting naval gunfire fell to the floatplane scouts. These small 1- and 2-seat catapult-launched aircraft served aboard US Navy ships as the eyes of the fleet until mid-1949. Most battleships carried up to 4 floatplanes; cruisers with aircraft hangars could accommodate as many as 8 aircraft; destroyers, when applicable, were limited to only 1 floatplane. Curtiss-Wright was the designer of 3 of the 4 types of scout planes that served aboard US warships in WWII, a tribute to the American aviation pioneer and father of the US floatplane, Glenn Curtiss. Chance-Vought and the Naval Aircraft Factory also produced floatplanes that served the US Navy in WWII. All get detailed coverage in this volume. Illustrated with more than 106 photographs, 13 full-color paintings, plus detailed line drawings

Until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the MiG Design Bureau had a near monopoly on the supply of fighter aircraft to the Soviet Air Force and the nations within Moscow's sphere of influence. Yet the early designs of Mikoyan and Gurevich are not widely known; the MiG-1 was the fastest fighter in the world in 1940 and the improved MiG-3 was more than a match for the Bf 109F at high altitude. Other early designs included high-altitude fighter prototypes, rocket-powered aircraft and the MiG-9, the first pure jet-powered Soviet fighter. Updated with 7 pages of new material and illustrated with more than 100 photographs, plus 10 color profiles, detailed line drawings

More than any other weapon system, the legendary Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is the embodiment of American military power in the popular imagination. The B-52 was workhorse of the Strategic Air Command in its nuclear deterrent role, the most important mission during the Cold War. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the B-52 has been its longevity. First flown in 1952 and entering operational service with the US Air Force in 1955; Boeing delivered the last new B-52 in 1962. More than 4 decades later, the B-52 remains in front line service, most recently serving in combat over Afghanistan and Iraq. Even more amazingly, current plans are for the B-52 to remain in service until 2040! 119 photographs, 113 of which are in color, plus line drawings and five color profiles
