SB 103 pp.10 b&willustrations 4 coloured plates 2004 N&MP Reprint of 1920 Original EditionPublished Price £20 A concise but vivid history of one of the most illustrious squadrons to serve over the Western Front in the Great War. One of the early commanders of the squadron was the great ace Major Lanoe Hawker VC, who was shot down in single combat wih the âRed Baronâ, Manfred von Richthofen, in November 1916 at the end of the battle of the Somme. The squadronâs other battle honours included the advance to the Hindenburg Line in the spring of 1917; the great retreat and the defence of Amiens in 1918; and the Allied counter-offensives and advances which led to the Armistice in the summer and autumn of 1918. As the squadronâs final commander, Major V.A.H. Robeson MC proudly notes, in that year the squadron was never less than 10 men under strength, and at the end of the war were 26 men below. Still they carried on. The book is illustrated with photographs of the DH2, DH5 and SE5A machines used by the squadron, line-ups of squadron personnel and by the superb colour paintings of aerial action executed by one of its own officers, Capt. R.H.M.S. Saundby MC, author of âFlying Coloursâ. There is also a Roll of Honur, and lists of Officers, warrant officers, ground crew and other ranks along with their addresses. Published in association with the Imperial War Museum, this is a book that no aerial entusiast of the war will want to be without.

Condition: New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1952). SB xi+292 pp with 21 maps & 35 illustrationsPublished Price £22 In June 1944, the 43rd Division was sent to Normandy, soon after after the Allies invaded France on 6 June, where it joined the British Second Army and was initially earmarked as a reserve for Operation Epsom during the Battle for Caen.In July, it launched an attack against the German 9th SS Panzer Division at Hill 112, though it was beaten back after both sides had suffered horrendous casualties. The Division performed well in Normandy, and was considered by many senior British officers to be one of the best divisions of the British Army in World War II. It was the first British formation to cross the Seine river, with an assault crossing at the French town of Vernon opposed by the German 49th Infantry Division. This crossing enabled the armour of XXX Corps, under Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks, to thrust across northern France into Belgium.Still with XXX Corps, the Division later played a major role in Operation Market Garden as the support to the Guards Armoured Division. During Market Garden, a battalion, 4th Dorset's of the 130th Infantry Brigade, successfully crossed the Rhine as a diversion, so that the battered remnants of the airborne troops of 1st Airborne Division could withdraw more safely; yet the cost was high as many men of the 4th Dorset's were themselves left behind on the north bank of the Rhine when the Division was forced to withdraw. The division later played a comparatively small part in the mainly American Battle of the Bulge, where it was placed on the river Meuse as a reserve. The 43rd later played a large part in Operation Veritable attached to First Canadian Army still as part of XXX Corps.They then crossed the River Rhine as the Allies invaded Germany itself. By the end of the war in Europe, the 43rd Division had reached the Cuxhaven peninsula of northern Germany. From June 1944 to May 1945 the 43rd suffered well over 15,000 casualties, with over 3,000 dead.
