Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 65th Infantry Regiment arrives in Korea from Puerto Rico-with half of its outfit following it, and still to show up-and is immediately thrust into battle.From the outset, the 65th proves to be one of the premier combat units of the Allied Army, participating in countless skirmishes, and repelling scores of assaults from the North Koreans. Then, the Regiment aids the 1st Marines to withdraw from the Chinese encirclement in the Chosin Reservoir, and keeps the Communist Armies at bay while the evacuation from the port of Hungnam of Allied troops, equipment, and thousands of refugees takes place.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 1st Edition. The Phantom Major. The Story of David Stirling and the S.A.S. Regiment by Virginia Cowles.

In the dark and uncertain days of 1941 and 1942, when Rommel's Afrika Korps was sweeping towards Egypt and the Suez Canal, a small group of daring raiders made history for the Allies. They operated deep behind the German lines, driving hundreds of miles through the deserts of North Africa. They hid by day and struck by night, destroying aircraft, blowing up ammunition dumps, derailing trains and killing many times their own number. The men were the Special Air Service, the SAS, the brainchild of David Stirling, a deceptively mild-mannered man with a brilliant idea. Under his command, small teams of resourceful, highly trained men penetrated beyond the front lines of the opposing armies and wreaked havoc where the Germans least expected it. Virginia Cowles's The Phantom Major is a classic account of these raids, an amazing tale of courage, impudence and daring, packed with action and high adventure. Her narrative, based on the eyewitness testimony of the men who took part, gives a fascinating insight into the early years of the SAS. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.

Bibliotheca Nautica 1339 ("One of the outstanding works on the subject"). Adams & Waters 3275. RCIN 1059213. According to the Preface, "The germe of this work was a small and incomplete treatise on sail making, which some years ago came into the possession of the publisher. In the course of rendering that fit for general use, the reciprocal dependence of the naval arts was discerned; and it was instantly resolved to collect them all together, . . . " By the late eighteenth century, Britain was the pre-eminent naval power, but faced challenges from French militarisation following the Revolution of 1789, "forcing the Royal Navy to construct hundreds of new ships over a short period. The Elements & Practice of Rigging & Seamanship provides extensive instructions on how to prepare a ship for sail and the basics of seamanship and naval tactics. It is heavily illustrated with engraved plates and moveable diagrams and covers everything from mast- and sail-making to rigging and rope-making. There are also illustrated comparisons between various British ships to other European ships as well as to Chinese and Polynesian sailing vessels." (Royal Collection Trust) N. B.
