Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The first known use of a sun-compass for motorized vehicles in the Desert of Egypt was during World War I with the Light Car Patrols in 1917. To navigate during his 1929 expedition into the desert of Egypt, Bagnold used a magnetic aero-compass, which was lent to him by the Royal Geographical Society. It was carefully mounted on one of the expedition's Ford-cars but Bagnold could not manage to compensate it properly due to the influence of magnetism caused by the metal structure of the car. Bagnold found that kind of compass unreliable for the purpose and changed to the use of sun-compasses for his next expedition to the sand-sea in 1930.Bagnold's invention was different from all other sun-compasses since it could be used whilst the vehicle was driving. However, although it was an easy to handle and very useful instrument, the British army never adopted it but kept using the other models. When Bagnold founded the Long Range Desert Group in 1940, his sun-compass became the standard instrument for this unit. Its navigators soon became the unrivaled masters of desert navigation. 68 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dieses kleine Buch ist weder eine Anleitung, wie man einen alten Ford A restauriert noch wird tiefer auf die technischen Eigenschaften des Fahrzeuges eingegangen. Wir beschreiben noch nicht einmal die Details der damaligen Ausrüstung und wie wir versucht haben, diese möglichst originalgetreu zu rekonstruieren oder zu beschaffen. Das Buch ist vorwiegend eine fotografische Darstellung unserer Erlebnisse mit dem Ford in der Wüste Tunesiens im Herbst 2013. Wir wollen damit die Eindrücke mit anderen wüstenbegeisterten Menschen teilen und das Fahrzeug im Einsatz in den Sanddünen zeigen. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Kuno Gross: Most probably the readers of this magazine have never heard of the original TRACKS. I was in the very same situation until by the end of 2020, when NZ LRDG-historian Brendan OCarroll has provided me with a hardly readable copy of the June 1941 issue of TRACKS. I was immediately fascinated by these windows into the past and just thought: 'We should revive TRACKS! ' The editor of the original Tracks was, that time 20 years old, TA Sgt. N.A Moore, a clerk attached to LRDG Group HQ. The June 1941 issue was created by him when the LRDG HQ was located at Kufra. There he got the idea to create a 'house paper' for the unit. He recalled in a letter which was published in the 1991 Newsletter of the LRDG Association, that there were only a very limited number of people who were willing to contribute and that this first edition was mainly launched thanks to the contribution of Lieut. Col. Bagnold and Captain Kennedy Shaw. And indeed, the June 1941 remained the single and only issue of Tracks - it was never published again. until today!CONTENT 2021Editorial Note: Kuno GrossForeword: Lieut Col R.A.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Much has been written about the Long Range Desert Group and its daring missions. However, one topic is rarely mentioned; those members of the LRDG who were taken prisoner.This book is based on the diaries of Guardsman Cyril Richardson, outline his experiences with G1 Patrol during 1941, then his daily life in the Italian PoW camps, culminating in his escape from northern Italy over the Alps into Switzerland in September 1943.Richardson's wartime diary is in three parts, written into small note-books. The original of the first part was lost or destroyed when he was taken prisoner by the Germans in December 1941. He re-wrote it from memory as a POW in Italy and continued with the events after his capture in parts two and three.It is not the aim of this little book, to find the answers to all the questions which the reader may discover 'between the lines', but rather to give some insight into a seldom told story. We hope it will encourage further research and help keep alive the memory of a brave soldier who died too young. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -TRACKS 2025 is already the fifth issue of our magazine and in addition we have published also two special issues.Whilst there is still plenty of LRDG stuff to be written about, we are entering new fields in this issue. When the research about the rescue of the B 24 crew started, it was believed that the LRDG was involved. It was not. but instead, we found that it was a mission of the Sudan Defence Force and an Indian Long Range Patrol. Should we now ommit the article, we asked ourselves. but soon came to the conclusion that we should include it. TRACKS 2025 is also the first issue where we include an article about an enemy unit, the German Wüstennotstaffel, explaining briefly the units background but focus on its encounters with the LRDG.We will continue to include articles about enemy units and other Allied special forces in TRACKS, always in close connection to the LRDG and its missions. This will, hopefully, help to widen the understanding about the environment in which the LRDG-patrols had operated. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Man muss es gleich am Anfang klar sagen:Im Lebenslauf des Schweizer Flugpioniers Emil Louis Gassler, so wie er sich aus den noch vorhandenen Dokumenten herauslesen lässt, gibt es viele Lücken. Gassler war zu Lebzeiten öffentlich auch nie so präsent, wie es Bider, Audemars, Comte und andere Schweizer Piloten der Pionierzeit waren, so dass in den Schweizer Zeitungen nicht einmal über ihn berichtet wurde. Trotzdem, die Angaben, die sich zu Gasslers Leben erhalten haben, geben Einblick in seine Tätigkeiten und eine Zeit rasanter technischer Entwicklungen und politischer Umwälzungen. Es kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass irgendwo noch weitere Dokumente zu Gassler auf ihre Entdeckung warten ;vielleicht gibt gerade diese kleine Publikation den Anstoss dazu, dass irgendwo jemand auf den Schweizer Flugpionier mit dem Brevet No. 29 aufmerksam wird, und es gelingt, die eine oder andere Lücke im Lebenslauf Emil Gasslers zu schliessen. Diese Publikation erhebt bei Weitem keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit soll aber ein Beitrag dazu sein, etwas Licht in das Leben und Werken der eher unbekannten Schweizer Flugpioniere zu bringen. 44 pp. Deutsch.…
