Through Palestine with the Twentieth Machine Gun Squadron (WWI Centenary Series) by Anon Pdf

""This Booklet has been compiled with the object of enabling the members of the 20th Machine-Gun Squadron to recall the principal incidents in its history, as well as to allow their friends and relations to obtain some idea of their experiences whilst they were serving with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. Although no pains have been spared to obtain accuracy, the statements made must, necessarily, not be regarded as absolutely authoritative. Beyond doubt, many brave deeds, fully deserving of mention in these pages, must have been unavoidably overlooked, in which case the leniency of readers is requested."" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

With the Machine Gunners in France and Palestine by J. H. Luxford Pdf

Among all the various British regimental or Corps histories of the Great War there is not one of the Machine Gun Corps, formed in October 1915, apart from G.S Hutchison s Machine Guns which is rather a history of machine guns and their tactical employment, especially during the Great War. This publication, however, is first and foremost a history of the NZ MG Corps on the Western Front, its formation, its organization, its employment and its personnel and similarly of the NZ MG Squadron in Palestine. It concludes, like many regimental histories, with the list of Honours and Awards followed by the Roll of Honour which lists thirty officers and nearly 350 other ranks, giving date of death and place of burial. The book is arranged in two parts, the first deals with the formation of the NZ MG Corps in Egypt at the beginning of 1916, its move to France in April 1916 with the NZ Division of which it was part, and its subsequent fortunes on and off the battlefield. The second part tells the story of the MG Squadron in the Palestine campaign. It was formed in July 1916 for service with the NZ Mounted Brigade and fought in support of it in numerous actions. This is a good history, based on official records though the author notes that while the War Diaries of the Squadron were excellently kept he couldn t say the same of all the companies or of the battalion in France. However, it is full of action with plenty of individuals named. An excellent feature is the number of clear, interesting, contemporary photos.

The War in the Air, 1914-1994 by Alan Stephens Pdf

This book contains the proceedings of a conference held by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in Canberra in 1994. Since its publication by the RAAF's Air Power Studies Center in that year, the book has become a widely used reference at universities, military academies, and other educational institutions around the world. The application of aerospace power has seen significant developments since 1994, most notably through American-led operations in Central Europe and continuing technological advances with weapons, uninhabited vehicles, space-based systems, and information systems. But notwithstanding those developments and the passing of six years, the value of this anthology of airpower in the twentieth century seems undiminished.

The First World War – A Marxist Analysis of the Great Slaughter by Alan Woods Pdf

On 28 June 1914, two pistol shots shattered the peace of a sunny afternoon in Sarajevo. Those shots reverberated around Europe and shattered the peace of the whole world. This was the beginning of the Great Slaughter. Could it have been avoided? Alan Woods uses the method of Marxism to answer this question. He explains that, actually, whilst individuals play an important role in history, to explain events such as wars, one must look at deeper causes. As well as dealing with the origin of the war, Woods traces the conflict through its development, looking at the role of all the major actors, and their aims. He shows how in the midst of the despair of the trenches and the home front, a new consciousness was formed. He also makes the case that it was the German Revolution that brought the war to an end, and how a revolutionary wave swept across Europe. The book also looks at the Treaty of Versailles and how the victorious powers imposed the deal, not just on Germany, but the rest of Europe and the Middle East. Given the amount of nationalistic mystification from all sides about the First World War, a history of the subject from the standpoint of the world working class is essential and it is provided by this book.

Hellcat by Barrett Tillman Pdf

Largely responsible for crushing Japanese airpower wherever the American fast carrier force sailed, the Grumman F6F Hellcat was considered the most important Allied aircraft in the Pacific during 1943 and 1944. Designed for speed, range, and climb to compete with Japan's exceptional Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it succeeded not only in engaging the "Zeke" on equal terms but also in dictating the rules of combat. Fighters in every sense of the word, the Hellcats were credited with destroying more than five thousand Japanese aircraft, gaining outright air supremacy over the invasion beaches, and helping ensure Allied amphibious victories in the Central Pacific. Aviation historian Barrett Tillman presents the full story of the fighter plane--the men who built and tested it, the squadrons that flew it, and the heroes it created. Heavily illustrated with photographs from the pilots' own collections, this spirited, carefully documented operational history is an absolute must for anyone interested in aviation history. It is now available for the first time in paperback.
