Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. If, in 2021, more than 40 years after the accident that occurred on 27 June 1980, we are still talking about a mystery, it is because in Italy they have not followed the procedure that all the countries of the world adopt in the aftermath of an aviation disaster.A technical commission is appointed, made up of experienced aviation investigators, who will tell us why the accident happened. If, in the course of the investigation, it turns out that the disaster was caused by an unlawful act against the aircraft, i.e. a bomb, bombing, air attack, missiles, etc., a judicial investigation is also launched in parallel to find out who committed the unlawful act. In any case, the two investigations must be kept separate. Not only that, but by international practice, the technical investigation must be sent to the International Civil Aviation Organisation, ICAO, in Montreal for inclusion in that organisation's database. In the case of the Ustica accident involving an Itavia DC9, which is unique in the world, an anomalous procedure was followed whereby the judicial authority, which should have been responsible only for identifying the culprit, also had the task of determining the causes of the accident.The investigation would have been very different if it had been conducted by experienced aviation safety investigators who would certainly have been able to reach a firm conclusion on the causes of the accident.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Between the spring and autumn of 1944, as the Allied forces slowly advanced through Italy, the German Luftwaffe constituted a constant threat to the incursions of the MAAF (Mediterranean Allied Air Forces), and the losses in men and aircraft were very substantial. In the span of a few months, between the autumn of 1944 and the end of hostilities, hundreds of Allied aircraft did not return from their missions on targets in the north of Italy.In most cases, the aviators on board the aircraft were captured or were killed in action. But on many other occasions, the crews managed to evade capture thanks to the collaboration of the civilian population and to the help given by the partisans.Especially in the Tuscan-Emilia-Romagna Apennine Mountains, these groups had setup a very efficient underground organization so that they could even pass through the strong defensive positions of the German Gothic Line and return to liberated territory.This book outlines a variety of lesser known stories and events that had as protagonists American and British aviators and Italian partisans and civilians acting together in various areas of Italy, including Lazio, Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, and Piedmont. Between the spring and autumn of 1944, as the Allied forces slowly advanced through Italy, the German Luftwaffe constituted a constant threat to the incursions of the MAAF (Mediterranean Allied Air Forces), and the losses in men and aircraft were very substantial.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The USSR was the only nation to employ women in battle.It has been written that, in what the Soviet historians called the Great Patriotic War, between 800,000 and a million women from all over the USSR took up arms, out of a total 10 million soldiers, sailors and aviators involved. Whats more, 200,000 of them were decorated.The employment of such a quantity of women combatants by the Soviet Union was due, also in this case, to several factors: the equality between men and women sanctioned by communism; the multitude of paramilitary activities offered free to students and workers between the two world wars and in practice up until the fall of the Berlin Wall; an ardent patriotism diffused by omnipresent and incessant propaganda; the frightening losses incurred by the Soviet Armed Forces with the German invasion. The women combatants paid a high price in blood for the victory: many were wounded, remained invalid, were killed, taken prisoner and tortured by the Germans or disappeared and never returned home. However always very little is said about them.Still less has been written on the subject of this book, the women-snipers, an aspect that was totally exclusive to the Red Army in the last war. There amounted to be a little less than two thousand highly skilled markswomen that sowed panic among the German ranks and that killed (according to some estimates) 20,000 enemy soldiers. In the West very little has been published on these Red Army sniper women.
