THE GREAT NORTH ROAD-- since 1922 classified officially as the A1 has been the main route between London and Edinburgh since earliest times, but roads change, and so much of the original has since been bypassed leaving an intriguing trail of discovery for author Chris 'Wolfie' Cooper. As we travel the 400 miles, we follow every twist and turn of the old road, past the remains of bygone carriageways, forgotten byways, dead ends, and wayside rest houses of distant memory, and even trace parts which have completely disappeared.

Peter Cornwell tells the story of the greatest air battle of the Second World War when six nations were locked in combat over north-western Europe for a traumatic six weeks in 1940. He describes the day-to-day events as the battle unfolds, and details the losses suffered by all six nations involved: Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and, rather belatedly, Italy. As far as RAF fighter squadrons in France were concerned, it was an all-Hurricane show, yet it was the Blenheim and Battle crews who suffered the brunt of the casualties. Every aircraft lost or damaged through enemy action while operating in France is listed together with the fate of the crews. The RAF lost more than a thousand aircraft of all types over the Western Front during the six-week battle, the French Air Force 1,400, but Luftwaffe losses were even higher at over 1,800 aircraft. 900 illustrations

The story of the attack on the Mohne and Eder dams in the Ruhr has been recounted many times before but not from the German side. The author has spent over a third of a century studying the raid and its consequences, and this book collects an archive of documents and photographs.

Documented with facts, figures and eyewitness accounts, the period in question began quietly with the Luftwaffe busy elsewhere through the 1944 "Baby Blitz" and the fearsome V1 and V2 robot bombs. The three volumes of this series are dedicated to those British civilians who died or were injured.

Drawing on contemporary material from public and private sources as well as combatants and civilians, this book uses photographs and still frames in their historical context in order to analyse the German advance during the Battle of the Bulge.

In this work, the author presents the precise spots where the battle at Gallipoli took place with a range of contemporary photographs. It provides a link between past and present; from one century to the next; that the deeds of those whose bones lie buried in a foreign field shall not be forgotten.
