Hardcover. Condizione: NF. No Jacket. 1st. Many books relating to the de Havilland Mosquito aircraft of the RAF in WWII have been written, but few, if any, have matched the brilliant merging of text and illustration as that achieved in this significent addtion to aircraft literature the 1939-45 conflict. The Mosquito had many claims to fame. It was unusual with the airfraft constructed of wood, becoming, colloquially known as the "Wooden Wonder." It was extremely versitile, used in a number of operational roles with destinction in all. The "Mossie" was designed as an unarmed light bomber and when intoduced to operations was an immediate success, which led to the adaptation of the basic airframe to a the large variety ofcombat duties. These are concisely, but comprehensively, recorded in Sweetman's text. However, pride of place must got to Watanabe's excellent artistic contribution. This includes two four sheet colour fold-outs which illustrate most of the Mosquito marks, cutaways and a number of side view profiles. The coloured inllustrations are complemented by a numerous photographs, earlier DH trend-setting designs, technical diagrams, side and four views and cut-aways with numered components. All the illustrations and the complete volume are in excellent condition and this book is an essential in any WWII aircraft collection. First edition of 1981, 52 pages, illustrations throughout.

Hardcover. Condizione: NF. Condizione sovraccoperta: VG+. 1st. Today the beautifully maintained, blue hulled ships, with their distinctive star insignia to the funnel.of the Maersk line are a colourful addition to merchant shipping in ports throught the maritime world. Late in 1904 A P Moller purchased his first ship, a small British steamer the Ada, which was re-named Svendborg after her Danish port of registration and which was the also the initial company name. Subsequently, with a few exceptions, all company ships carried the Maersk suffix. By 1910 the fleet had grown to three ships but at the outbreak of WW! in 1914 it numbered 11 ships, 20 in 1916 but down to 12 by 1919. By 1930 the fleet stood at 40 ships and 45 when war broke out again in 1939 --- reduced to 21 by 1945. However, another 20 ships, including tankers, were operated by associated companies. Post WWII the fleet increased rapidly reaching 50 by 1950 and 88 by 1965, making Maersk one of the major international shipping companies, a position maintained today. The comany's story is told in a comprehensive manner by the author, encompassing its operational development and wider interests, including that of the extended Moller family from its founde, A P Moller. Although Denmark was among the countries occupied by Germany in WWII the Maersk ships served the Allied cause, incurring heavy losse to the fleet, repeating the experiences of WWI. The company was strong, surviving both world wars, the Great Depression and later difficult times for world shipping.
