From Henri Fabre's first successful take off from water and landing near Marseilles, to the introduction of a hull rather than floats by American Glenn Curtiss, to the world-wide development of huge, ocean-crossing flying boats on both sides of the Atlantic - the passenger flying boat era continues to fascinate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike. Wartime necessity for paved runways to support long-range, high flying land-planes and the faster movement of airmail, overcame in peacetime the unique ability enjoyed by such craft to economically utilise the natural waterways of the world, thus depriving passengers of the ability to enjoy the panorama unfolding below in luxurious accommodation and ease. A sadly missed epoch of flight: though related in clear and vivid detail by Leslie Dawson in his account of a pre-war Imperial Airways flight from Southampton to South Africa. This extended pictorial edition of the author's previous book Fabulous Flying Boats, A History Of The World's Passenger Flying Boats provides a fast-moving journey from the first pioneers to the very last use of such craft in regions still reliant on waterborne communication with the outside world. From the Americas and the United Kingdom, to France, Germany and Italy, and on to Australia and New Zealand. Supported by world-wide private, public and corporate images, the work boasts a comprehensive and well-researched Appendix. <br><br> Autorid: Leslie Dawson <br>

Die Geschichte der modernen Mode - von der Haute Couture zum MassenmarktIm 20. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich die Mode von einem reinen Geschäft der exklusiven Pariser Salons, die einer reichen Elite zu Diensten waren, zu einer weltweiten Industrie mit Millionen von Beschäftigten. Neue Trends schlugen sich in den Läden nieder, kaum dass das letzte Model den Laufsteg verlassen hatte. Im Laufe der Zeit entwickelte sich die typische weibliche Silhouette bis zur Unkenntlichkeit: Die Krinolinen von House of Worth machten Vionnets schräg geschnittenen Kleidern Platz, Diors New Look musste Quants Chelsea Look weichen, und auf die weißen Hosenanzüge von Halston folgten tief geschnittene Jeans von Frankie B. In der Herrenmode bedeuteten Konfektionsanzüge den Niedergang der Maßschneiderei, lange bevor Hawaiihemden, superschmale Krawatten und Baggy-Hosen aufkamen.20th Century Fashion bietet eine elegante Retrospektive der Mode der vergangenen hundert Jahre, die durch 400 Modeanzeigen aus der Jim Heimann Collection veranschaulicht wird. Mit der Bildsprache aus einem Jahrhundert Werbung dokumentiert dieses Buch das unablässige Fortschreiten der Mode, die gleichzeitig im Lauf der Jahrzehnte zu einem Teil der Massenkultur wurde. Eine umfassende Einleitung, Kapitel zu jedem Jahrzehnt und eine illustrierte Zeitleiste stellen Modemacher und Trendsetter von der Haute Couture bis zum Massenmarkt im Detail vor. Und nicht zuletzt geht es darum, wie historische Ereignisse, Designermarken, Handelsketten, Filme, Zeitschriften und Prominente Einfluss darauf nehmen, wie wir uns kleiden - damals wie heute.Der Kulturanthropologe und Grafikdesign-Experte Jim Heimann ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher über Architektur, Popkultur und die Geschichte der amerikanischen Westküste sowie über Los Angeles und Hollywood.

An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed. An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed.In 21 Days to Baghdad, historian Dr. Heather Stur describes the commitment of the division to Kuwait, the invasion of Iraq and the three weeks of violent desert conflicts on the way to Baghdad before the siege and battle for the city itself, and the “thunder runs” that saw its fall to U.S. forces. She then details the complex security mission that required the soldiers and their commanders to convince Iraqi citizens that the U.S. was there to help them, while at the same time they continued fighting Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guard, paramilitary forces, and terrorists. This new history is based on exclusive, extensive interviews with General Buford “Buff” Blount, the U.S. Army two-star general who led the 3rd Infantry Division. His years of experience in the Middle East led him to question the recall of his division from Iraq at the end of 2003 and its replacement by a less experienced unit. President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not believe that peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance were worthwhile uses of a conventional combat force like the 3rd Infantry Division. The division had destroyed Hussein's government. Mission accomplished, or so Bush and Rumsfeld thought. 21 Days to Baghdad illustrates the long reach of the U.S. military, the limitations of nation building in the wake of war, and the tensions between policymakers in Washington, DC, and troops on the ground over the purpose and conduct of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. <br><br> Autorid: Heather Marie Stur <br>

A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram by David M. Guss is the gripping narrative of an intrepid Scottish soldier's audacious defiance and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. 'An extraordinary and humbling account' Damien Lewis, The Scotsman 'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure' Giles Milton, Sunday Times In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk. His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times. In a saga of relentless determination, Cram, along the legendary founder of the SAS, David Stirling, masterminded the audacious 'Cistern Tunnel' escape from the Italian fortress Gavi - a thousand-year-old stronghold housing the most 'dangerous' escape risk prisoners. It became one of the most audacious but little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. Thrillingly told, this is a record of stamina and courage against unfathomable adversity.
