Barbarossa Campaign in 1941

Hungarian Perspective Peter Mujzer

The Barbarossa campaign started on 22 June 1941, pitting the forces of the Soviet Union against those of the Third Reich and its allies. Hungary was among the less willing allies who participated on the side of the Germans. The Hungarian involvement during the first phase of the war against the Soviet Union was minimal. On the other hand, the Hungarian committed their most modern, partially motorized units - the Mobile Corps and the elite mountain jagers and border guard troops of the VIII Corps and the selected units of the Royal Hungarian Air Force. This lavishly illustrated book will show what war meant for ordinary soldiers and civilians from the Hungarian perspective in 1941.

Soviet Heavy Fighters 1926 – 1949 showcases some of the lesser known, often forgotten, aircraft types, as well as a group of young and prolific aircraft designers who never had a chance to flourish under difficult wartime conditions and limitations inherent to the Soviet aviation industry of the time. Many of the aircraft designs discussed in the book never went into full-scale productions, others didn’t progress beyond the prototype stage and some were complete failures. Nonetheless, quite a few of them featured interesting and innovative design solutions. This comprehensive book will shed light on some of the lesser known episodes in the history of Soviet aviation and save them from falling into obscurity.

From 1926, when Do D was first introduced in the Naval Air Force (PV - Pomorsko Vazduhoplovstvo), various Dornier airplanes and floatplanes served with distinction and outlasted numerous changes in politics, names of countries, borders, flags, kings, dictators, and presidents. Three of those, Do 17K, Do 22, and Do Wal, took part in the brief 1941 April war opposing the German Reich who itself fielded Do 17 bombers in its ruthless attacks against the Yugoslav capital, Belgrade. After over 90 years of distinguished service, the retirement of Dornier Do 28D-2 brings the closure to the magnificent - and without precedent - Dornier Saga in the western Balkans. Even 50 years after the passing of great Claude Dornier, his brand of airplanes is still leaving a lasting mark in the world as well as Yugoslav and Serbian aviation history.

History of the 40/43M Zrínyi Assault Howitzer

The 40/43M Zrínyi assault howitzer was a truly stopgap weapon, bore the same resemblance of the Italian Semovente self-propelled guns. The design used the already outdated chassis of the Turán tank with the complicated running gear and the only available 105mm light field howitzer to built in the widened hull of the vehicle. The howitzer fired separated ammunition, which reduced the rate of fire. The 75mm version of the Zrínyi did not materialize due to the difficulties of the gun. The mass production started in 1944 but was stopped by the Allied air raids in July 1944. All in all, about 66-76 Assault howitzers were produced. This book focuses on the design and production of the 40/43M Zrínyi assault howitzer as well as the organization of the Hungarian Assault Artillery Branch and the operational history of the assault artillery battalions equipped with Zrínyi assault howitzers containing original black-white photos, drawings, and color materials.

The purpose of this monograph is the author’s desire to introduce the reader to a remarkable fighter aircraft, that which had a great influence on both the pre-war development of Soviet aircraft, and the military developments that occurred in the first few months of the war between Germany and the USSR. And at the same time about its creator - Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov, who had the unspoken title of “King of fighters” during his lifetime.

The result of years of experimentation by the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Mitsubishi A6M Reisen is perhaps the best known Japanese World War II fighter type. The Zero, or “Zeke,” in official Allied reporting, saw action in practically all battles waged by the Imperial Japanese Navy, from the attack on Pearl Harbor all the way through the defense of the Home Islands against the B-29s. During the first months of the war in the Pacific the Zero emerged as a world-class fighter, unrivaled in the air by anything the enemy could muster. However, with no worthy successor in sight, by 1943 the Zero was all but obsolete.

The mid-1930s saw the ever increasing numbers of fast monoplane fighters entering service with many of the world’s air forces. This was not the case in naval aviation, where biplane designs still reigned supreme. Prevalence of biplanes among naval fighters of the time was due to very strict limitations on landing speeds imposed by small flight decks of contemporary aircraft carriers. It was in the middle of that decade, in 1935, that the Mitsubishi A5M entered the stage – a low-wing, monoplane carrier-based fighter, which set new standards for aircraft of its class.

This monograph describes the La-5 - Soviet single-engine single-seat fighter from World War II. The plane was developed in the S.A. design office. The Lavochkin was a development version and successor of the LaGG-3, a wooden low wing with an inline engine. It was one of the best fighter planes in Soviet aviation and the first to compete on an equal footing with the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.

Nakajima K-43 Hayabusa, code-named Oscar by the Allies, was the Imperial Japanese Army’s equivalent of the Zero fighter in service with the Imperial Navy. In combat units the machine replaced the aging Ki-27. Manufactured in large numbers, the fighter remained in frontline service until the end of the war. By the time its final version entered production, the development of its successor – the Ki-84 – had already started. Hayabusa was the pinnacle of the Japanese fighter design development until the lessons learned in the Pacific laid the ground for new approaches to the construction of tactical aircraft.

The F/A-18 Hornet is a single- and two-seat, twin engine, multi-mission fighter/attack aircraft that can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases. The F/A-18 fills a variety of roles: air superiority, fighter escort, suppression of enemy air defenses, reconnaissance, forward air control, close and deep air support, and day and night strike missions. The F/A-18 Hornet replaced the F-4 Phantom II fighter and A-7 Corsair II light attack jet, and also replaced the A-6 Intruder as these aircraft were retired during the 1990s. casemateipm.com • celticbooks.com • customer service: (610) 853-9131 casematepublishers.com • customer service: (610) 853-9131
