Although the subject of naval camouflage is of immense importance to warship enthusiasts, model makers, and naval historians, there has never been an authoritative history on the subject until now. This comprehensive study brings fragmented historical evidence into focus by listing all of the major patterns and schemes, as well as their colors, characteristics, and functions. Photographs and approved pattern drawings with variations provide a clarifying visual reference to an art form that was often a product of ad hoc wartime development. The accompanying narrative describes the theory of vis

Admiral Wilhelm Canaris was the head of the Abwehr--Hitler’s intelligence servic--from 1935 to 1944. Initially a supporter of Hitler, Canaris came to vigorously oppose his policies and practices, and worked secretly throughout the war to overthrow the regime. Near the end of the war, secret documents were discovered that implicated Canaris and hinted at the extent of the activities conducted by Canaris’s Abwehr against the Hitler regime, and in 1945 Canaris was executed as a national traitor. But Canaris left little in the way of personal documents, and to this day he remains a

The A-10 Warthog is an ugly, slow close air support (CAS) plane that many people believe should never have been built, yet it has proven useful in various conflicts around the globe and remains operational today. As Douglas Campbell explains in this sweeping survey of the CAS mission and the U.S. Air Force, many factors dictate the plane’s existence, tumultuous as it is. As an embodiment of the airman’s commitment to the soldier, the Warthog fills an important functional niche in the wide spectrum of warfare. But the author describes the A-10 as sitting on a seismic fault-line boun

During World War I Britain and Germany tried to starve each other into submission by the use of naval blockades that caused terrible deprivation to civilian populations. This graphic new volume describes the strategy and tactics of the blockades and their importance in deciding the outcome of the war. The many elements covered include the torpedoing of the Lusitania, German plots detected by British intelligence, Q-ships, armed freighters, and air ships. The author contends that the entry of the United States into the war and the introduction of convoys were the ultimate weapons in holding the
