Taken from over 1000 wartime broadcasts given anonymously by RAF and WAAF personnel between 1941 and 1943, servicemen and women describe their WWII experiences in their own words. Bringing to light a myriad of human stories behind the official communiqués, these accounts of operations over mainland Europe, Norway, the North Sea and the English Channel show us the great range and effectiveness of our Allied air power. The legendary days of Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain; the winged victory in North Africa; fighters sweeping over France; bomber sorties to Germany and Italy; night fighting, train-busting, and intruder operations highlight the work of these brave service personnel. This new combination of two original books, We Speak from the Air and Over to You continues with Ferry Command and the training of pilots in Canada, the remorseless harrying of U-boats and the adventures of air crews forced down in ocean or desert. These wide-ranging personal broadcasts from RAF personnel offer a rare insight into the experiences of those intimately involved at that crucial time in British history.

Q-Birds: The Impact of American Manned Aircraft as Drones

Hikoki

<p>When the USA launched a new battlefield attack aircraft program which eventually led to the development of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, the Soviet Union saw the need to create an equivalent. The Soviet aircraft industry had considerable experience in attack aircraft design to fall back on, dating back to the most famous of these types, the Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik of the World War II era. When a contest was called to produce a latter-day Shturmovik, the Sukhoi Design Bureau emerged as the winner with its T-8 project, beating competition from the Ilyushin and Myasiishchev bureaus. After a series of design changes the aircraft entered production and service as the Su-25. The book describes the Su-25's development history and its extensive combat career, starting with Operation Romb, when the then-experimental Su-25 received its baptism of fire in the Afghan War, to the conflicts in former Yugoslavia and the drug-busting operations in Peru. The type's Afghan War involvement receives extensive coverage, as does the Su-25's use in the Chechen Wars. A detailed list is given of the type's many operators, which even included a NATO country (Slovakia). In addition to the main versions up to and including the Su-25TM (Su-39) 'tank killer'. Due attention is paid to the latest programs to upgrade the Su-25 with modern requirements both in Russia and elsewhere. The book includes color artwork and detailed scale drawings in the usual Aerofax style.</p>
