This volume covers development from the VK 45.02(P), VK 45.03(H) to the modifications under design for the Tiger II at the end of the war. All of this illustrated with scale drawings by Hilary L. Doyle combined with drawings, sketches, and photographs.

In this follow-up to Tigers in Combat I (0811731715), Wolfgang Schneider turns his attention to the Tiger tanks of the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht's named units, such as the Gro_deutschland Division, Company Hummel, and Tiger Group Meyer. Based on actual combat diaries, the text provides the history of each unit, outlining strength, equipment, commanders, and engagements. But the heart of the book is the hundreds of photos, many of them rare, that show these tanks and their crews in action and at rest. Supplementing these are intricate color drawings that bring the Tigers to life and concentrate on markings, camouflage, and insignia. The book offers a stunning and unique look at the Tiger.

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.

By the end of World War II, the dreaded Tiger tank had achieved almost mystical status. In this much-sought-after volume on the Wehrmacht's numbered Tiger units, Wolfgang Schneider tells--in pictures--the story of these renowned tanks. Hundreds of photos depict Tigers in all situations and terrain, and a section of painstakingly detailed drawings brings the tanks to life in the metallic grays, snow whites, desert tans, and forest greens and browns that colored them. Modelers and buffs alike will delight in this impressive collection. An accompanying text lists units' combat strengths, equipment, commanders, and engagements.

PzKpfw VI «Tiger I», «Тигр» — немецкий тяжёлый танк времён Второй мировой войны, разработанный в 1941—1942 годах фирмой «Хеншель» под руководством Эрвина Адерса. В ведомственной сквозной классификации бронетехники нацистской Германии также обозначался как SdKfz 181. Впервые танки «Тигр I» пошли в бой в августе 1942 года у станции Мга под Ленинградом, массированно начали применяться со сражения на Курской Дуге, использовались Вермахтом и войсками SS вплоть до окончания Второй мировой войны.

Developed during the 1930s in contravention to the Treaty of Versailles, German tanks, along with the panzer units that operated them, were counted among the most feared conventional weapons of World War II. The story of German tank evolution, firsthand accounts of savage tank battles, tank comparisons, explanations of roles, and detailed armor and armament specifications combine with modern and rare period color photography to reveal the stories behind Germany's light armored support vehicles, light and medium Panzer tanks, and the behemoth Tiger tanks.

На момент создания машина являлась сильнейшей по вооружению и бронированию среди всех танков мира; такое положение сохранялось как минимум до ноября 1943 года. Изначально танк назывался PzKpfw VI Ausf H «Tiger», но после принятия на вооружение одноимённого нового тяжёлого танка PzKpfw VI Ausf B в название добавили римскую цифру «I» для отличия от более поздней машины, которая в свою очередь именовалась как «Тигр II». Хотя в конструкцию танка вносились небольшие изменения, модификация танка была всего лишь одна; обозначения машин раннего и позднего выпуска PzKpfw VI Ausf H и PzKpfw VI Ausf E были введены сугубо в административно-учётных целях. В советских документах танк «Тигр» обозначался как T-6 или T-VI. Благодаря отсутствию в 1943 году у стран антигитлеровской коалиции достаточного количества средств борьбы с тяжёлыми танками, «Тигр I» оказал шокирующее влияние на войска СССР, США и Великобритании, став одной из самых известных бронированных машин Третьего Рейха.

During World War II, combat experience proved that the American Sherman tank was no match for the best of Germany's tanks like the Panther or Tiger. Almost three years of development produced the T26E3 Pershing, which entered battle in the final months of the war in Europe. This book relies on hundreds of photos, color illustrations, and scale drawings to tell the history of this impressive American tank.

The book yells of the difficult birth of tht whole new weapon. From the schemes and plans of the mid-nineteenth century to the introduction of the first tanks into service and their baptism of fire, it is a fascinating and well-researched story.
That the tank woud go on to become an important feature in WWII and up to the present was far from certain in its early days.
Renowned tank authority David Fletcher tells the full story of the early British tanks in this very welcome addition to the Crowood armour series.

De Havilland's Mosquito was conceived in 1938 as a high speed unarmed bomber, built mainly from wood. Its adaptability saw it as a night fighter, bomber photoreconnaissance aeroplane, high speed courier aircraft, target marker and anti-shipping strike aircraft. This is the story of the Mosquito's design and development, its operational use, with both the RAF and USAAF, and of its production in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Appendices list the many variants, production totals and nightfighter kills. This volume contains many rare and unpublished photographs.

Hunnicutt's work is an absolute must for light tank enthusiasts. Covering earlier development of the American light tank beginning in the 1920's, it ascends through the 1940's. Tanks covered include all variants of the M2, M3, M5, M8 series light tanks and even LVT (Landing Vehicle, Tracked) vehicles. Coverage is also provided, albeit surprisingly, on the M18! Illustrated with black and white and color photos, line drawings and color plates; it includes action as well as technical views. Many photos are drawn from the U.S. Army Ordnance archives and Army technical manuals. This provides not only views of production vehicles, but prototypes and interior shots not normally seen. Technical specifications are also provided for the majority of vehicles illustrated.

PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf.B без сомнения был выдающимся тяжелым танком Второй мировой войны. Союзники не располагали аналогичным танком. Главным врагом "Королевского Тигра" была авиация, проблемы со снабжением, нехватка ремонтных мощностей и запасных частей, а также низкая надежность двигателя и трансмиссии. Выпущенный в небольшом количестве "Королевский Тигр" не оказал серьезного влияния на ход Второй мировой войны.

Полное официальное название «штурмтигра» — 38 cm RW61 auf Sturmmorser Tiger. Эта самоходная артиллерийская установка была создана в 1943 году на шасси тяжёлого танка «тигр» и предназначалась для разрушения укреплений противника и боёв в городских условиях. По первоначальному проекту новая САУ должна была вооружаться специально разработанной для неё 210-мм гаубицей, однако разработка последней затягивалась, и ставила под угрозу срыва весь проект. В качестве замены этому орудию был предложен так и не принятый на вооружение Кригсмарине 380-мм реактивный бомбомёт Raketenwerfer.

Колесницы и боевые слоны – таковы далекие предшественники танка, появившегося сто лет назад и ставшего универсальным оружием войны, без которого сегодня немыслима ни одна армия.
Узнай из этой иллюстрированной книги об истории танкостроения и о танковых битвах, в которых решалась судьба и нашей армии.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture is designed for courses that combine digital logic design with computer organization/architecture or that teach these subjects as a two-course sequence. Digital Design and Computer Architecture begins with a modern approach by rigorously covering the fundamentals of digital logic design and then introducing Hardware Description Languages (HDLs). Featuring examples of the two most widely-used HDLs, VHDL and Verilog, the first half of the text prepares the reader for what follows in the second: the design of a MIPS Processor. By the end of Digital Design and Computer Architecture, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works--even if they have no formal background in design or architecture beyond an introductory class. David Harris and Sarah Harris combine an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design.

Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design, has long been hailed for its clear and simple presentation of the principles and basic tools required to design typical digital systems such as microcomputers. In this Fifth Edition, the author focuses on computer design at three levels: the device level, the logic level, and the system level. Basic topics are covered, such as number systems and Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic design, as well as more advanced subjects such as assembly language programming and microprocessor-based system design. Numerous examples are provided throughout the text.
