As a long-range fighter, the Luftwaffe's Bf110 was highly effective in the early years of World War II, although the introduction of quicker Allied fighters eventually revealed its deficiencies. This development, production, and service history of the Luftwaffe's most-feared World War II fighter features many rare period photographs of the Bf110 in action.

The M4 Sherman medium tank was the mainstay of the American and British armored forces in World War II. From its introduction in 1942 until the production line closed in the second half of 1945, tens of thousands of these versatile armored fighting vehicles were produced. In addition to the basic tank, which itself went through numerous modifications during its three year production run, many more Sherman variants were produced. The M4 was adapted for use as armored artillery, self-propelled antiaircraft artillery, tank destroyers, cargo and personnel carriers, and a vast array of specialized armored combat engineer vehicles.

During the course of war, man's ingenuity inevitably results in the development of new tools of destruction. At no time and place in history has this been more true than World War II Germany, when scientists and engineers of the Third Reich mounted a campaign intended to change the face of warfare itself. Superbly illustrated with full-color drawings and specially commissioned cutaways, this study provides a wealth of information on all of Germany's secret weapons programs during World War II, offering an in-depth look at Germany's successes and failures with rocketry and jets, helicopters, submarines and torpedoes, armored fighting vehicles, artillery, anti-tank armaments, and surface-to-surface missiles. Each piece of artwork is accompanied by a comprehensive specification table.

Of all the combat aircraft that fought on the Allied side in World War II, the North American B-25 Mitchell was one of the best and most well-known. The B-25 gained lasting fame in the Pacific, by flying the April 1942 carrier raid on Tokyo. It also served in Africa, Italy, China, Burma and New Guinea, not just with the American air arms, but also with the RAF adn the Australian, Dutch and Russian air forces. The B-25 enjoyed a long post-war career before emerging as a prized warbird, the star of numerous air shows around the world. The author tells the full story of the B-25's development, operational use and post-war career in this illustrated history of the aircraft.

More than any other tank of WWII, the German Tiger tank instilled fear in the hearts of Allied soldiers when it entered a battlefield. With almost inpenetrable armor and a highly accurate 88mm main gun, they earned the respect they were rightly given. With a combat weight of over sixty tons, these tanks were among the most massive in the war, easily able to destroy any Allied tanks they encountered. This book will take an inside look at the brute force design of the TigerI tank, built with the largest pieces of plate armor that could be made. Learn first-hand how this formidable weapon was used in battle from the German soldiers that fought in them and the Allied soldiers that fought against them. Then climb on board the TigerII, the best-armed and best-protected tank Of the WWII. See what it is like to ride into battle with a German crew and hunt the Allied tanks such as the American Shermans and Soviet T-34s.

This is a study of aircraft from World War II. The book is part of a 12volume series, which covers the production and operation of aircraft worldwide. Each volume is devoted to essays on aircraft types, their development and option, systems and equipment.
As well as outlining developments, each article seeks to explain why progress was in a particular direction, emphasizing the political, strategic or economic factors that dictated that development. Moving from the general to the specific, graphs and tabular data relating to typical or significant aircraft or allied subjects are provided in each section.
The series concentrates on the development of aircraft from the viewpoint of their technical development, the effect of technical development on the use of aircraft, and the effect of their usage on technical development.

The history of the Second World War is usually told through its decisive battles and campaigns. But behind the front lines, behind even the command centres of Allied generals and military planners, a different level of strategic thinking was going on. Throughout the war the 'Big Three' - Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin - met in various permutations and locations to thrash out ways to defeat Nazi Germany - and, just as importantly, to decide the way Europe would look after the war.
