Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. June 6, 1944 in the Cotentin. Thousands of corollas open in the night. Thirteen thousand American paratroopers are dropped in this area west of the Normandy landing zone. But many are not fallen to the right place.

The 101st Airborne manages to cover the backs of Utah Beach while the 82nd Airborne controls Sainte-Mere-Eglise and its surroundings.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. June 6, 1944 minutes after midnight, silent silhouettes fly through the clouds and veer over from l'Orne, north of Caen. At more than 150 km / h, they touch the ground and finish their race a few meters from the bridge of Benouville, who will enter into posterity under the name of Pegasus Bridge. Ninety men emerge painfully from these gliders and seize in a few minutes of the work by a spectacular "helping hand". He is the vanguard of the 6th Airborne Division which will jump a few minutes later between Orne and Dives, for cover the eastern flank of the Normandy landings. The missions assigned to it will all be successfully completed despite widely dispersed drops. But it is not as the beginning of three long months of fighting for British paratroopers.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Normandy Landings were the first operations of the Allied Powers' invasion of Normandy, also known as Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord, during World War II. D-Day for the operation, postponed 24 hours, became June 6, 1944, H-Hour was 6:30 am. The assault was conducted in two phases: an air assault landing of American and British airborne divisions shortly after midnight, and an amphibious landing of Allied infantry and armoured divisions on the coast of France commencing at 06:30 British Double Summer Time. It required the transport of soldiers and materiel from England and Wales by troop carrying aeroplanes and ships, the assault landings, air support, naval interdiction of the English Channel and naval fire-support. There were also subsidiary operations to distract the Kriegsmarine and prevent its interference in the landing areas. The operation was the largest single-day invasion of all time, with over 130,000 troops landed on June 6, 1944. 195,700 Allied naval and merchant navy personnel were involved. The landings took place along a stretch of the Normandy coast divided into five sections: Gold, Juno, Omaha, Sword and Utah.

This fully illustrated guide, including period documents and colour photographs, offers an insight, sector by sector, place by place, not only of the legendary D-day landing sites, but also of the less widely known, but just as crucial areas. Enhanced by original maps, a series of close-up views offering detailed explanations, at a glance pages devoted to specific towns or sites and an introduction to the many museums available to history enthusiasts keen to see where it all happened.

The German battery at Longues-sur-mer located on the Calvados coaptation, is an excellent example of an Atlantic Wall strong point. However, the German battery at Longues is particularly noteworthy since it is the only one to have preserved its guns. By some mysterious miracle, it managed to escape the fervent salvage operations by post-war scrap merchants. The Longues-sur-Mer battery (German: Marineküstenbatterie (MKB) Longues-sur-Mer; also designated Widerstandsnest (Wn) 48)[1] is a World War II German coastal artillery battery approximately 1 km (0.62 mi) north of the village of Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy, France. The battery is sited on a 60 m (200 ft) cliff overlooking the Baie de Seine and formed a part of Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications, between the Allied landing sectors of Gold Beach and Omaha Beach. The battery shelled Allied naval forces off Gold and Omaha beaches on D-Day (6 June 1944), but was damaged by Allied shore bombardment the same day. It was captured on 7 June 1944 by British ground forces, playing no further part in the Normandy campaign. The battery is the only one in Normandy to retain several of its original guns. It was listed as a historical monument in October 2001, and remains in a good state of conservation. Ref HH 4.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. In 2017, Delage Champion du Monde told the story of the Delage team's successes in the 1926 and 1927 Grand Prix seasons - and now, here at last is the first full account of the journey that led to the world title. Delage's official return to racing in 1922 was followed by four years of intense activity during which the Courbevoie firm pulled out all the stops, competing in hill climbs, endurance races, Grand Prix and land speed records. Rarely in the history of motor racing has a marque contested so many disciplines at once. Even more remarkably, the factory entries for these events all employed different technologies: four, six and twelve cylinders, pushrod ohv, single and twin overhead camshafts, two and four valves per cylinder, supercharging, high performance two-strokes - there were no limits to the design options explored. Profiles of all the protagonists, the genesis of each model and its development, the achievements of the designers and drivers, stillborn prototypes, detailed test records, technical data sheets and a comprehensive list of specifications, records and race results, all supported by the largest collection of photographs of Delage cars in competition ever assembled - these are what you find in this exceptional account, in a fitting tribute to the glory years of motor racing. Top quality book, superbly illustrated. English and French text - abebooks doesn't allow for dual language books in their default unfortunately. Hardbound, not issued with dust jacket. 416 pages, 24.5cm x 29.5cm. Heavier than average, so additional postage costs will apply.…
