Описание: After the Gulf War of 1990, No Fly Zones (NFZ) were established over northern and southern Iraq and the Tornado GR 1 force stepped up to operations over the southern NFZ. The Tornado GR 4 took responsibility for RAF combat air operations in Afghanistan from the Harrier force in 2009, and in 2011 was involved in missions against the Gaddafi regime in Libya. The unique multirole capabilities of the aircraft enabled it to support ground operations with the Raptor reconnaissance pod, Brimstone missiles and Paveway IV laser-guided bombs until withdrawal in 2014.
The Tornado GR 4 was also used for operations over Iraq and Syria against the ISIL terrorist organisation. Intensive air operations were flown between 2014 and 2019, when the Tornado GR 4 was finally withdrawn from RAF Service. This volume, written by former RAF pilot Michael Napier, provides detailed first-hand accounts of the missions undertaken by the Tornado crews during the most recent conflicts over the Middle East and the Balkans.

Описание:
From acclaimed aviation historian Michael Napier, this is a highly illustrated survey of the airpower deployed by NATO and Warsaw Pact countries throughout the Cold War.
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, international relations across the globe were dominated by the Cold War. From 1949 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, US and Soviet strategic forces were deployed across the Arctic Ocean in North America and Northern Russia, while the best-equipped armed forces that the world had ever seen faced each other directly across the "Iron Curtain" in Europe. In Cold War Skies examines the air power of the major powers both at a strategic and at a tactical level throughout the 40 years of the Cold War. In this fascinating book, acclaimed historian Michael Napier looks at each decade of the war in turn, examining the deployment of strategic offensive and defensive forces in North America and Northern Russia as well as the situation in Europe. He details the strategic forces and land-based tactical aircraft used by the air forces of the USA, USSR, NATO, Warsaw Pact countries, and the European non-aligned nations. He also describes the aircraft types in the context of the units that operated them and the roles in which they were used. The text is supported by a wide range of first-hand accounts of operational flying during the Cold War, as well as numerous high-quality images.

Описание: At war in Spain against Napoleon's French Army Any student of the military history of Great Britain during the 19th century will be aware of the name Napier. This was a remarkable family. Colonel George Napier married Lady Sarah Lennox who bore him eight children among them three sons who had particularly significant military careers and who during the Napoleonic Wars came to be known as 'Wellington's Colonels.' Charles served in the Peninsular War with the 50th Foot, became a general and is notable for the subjugation of Scinde on the Indian sub-continent. William served under Wellington in the 43rd Foot as part of the Light Division in the Peninsula, but is most remembered for his superlative history of the Peninsular War. This book concerns the Peninsular War experiences of George Napier. Originally titled, Passages in the Early Life of General Sir George Napier, K.C.B., it recounts the life on campaign, march, camp and field of battle not of a senior officer, but a regimental major who served under both Moore and Wellington and who was active at the sharp end of war as part of the famous Light Division. George Napier was a fine, educated and sensitive man who was able to put his experiences into words in the most compelling and literate way, whilst giving the reader insights into his personality which revealed him to be a warrior of the most honourable, courageous but humane kind. Napier led his regiment, the 52nd Foot, in its assault on the fortifications at Ciudad Rodrigo and there lost an arm when he was seriously wounded. It goes without saying that this book is an essential addition to every library of the Peninsular War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
Описание: This is a curated and comprehensive collection of the most important works covering matters related to national security, diplomacy, defense, war, strategy, and tactics. The collection spans centuries of thought and experience, and includes the latest analysis of international threats, both conventional and asymmetric. It also includes riveting first person accounts of historic battles and wars.
Some of the books in this Series are reproductions of historical works preserved by some of the leading libraries in the world. As with any reproduction of a historical artifact, some of these books contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. We believe these books are essential to this collection and the study of war, and have therefore brought them back into print, despite these imperfections.
We hope you enjoy the unmatched breadth and depth of this collection, from the historical to the just-published works.
The Napier brothers were once known as 'Wellington's Colonels' such was their renown in the 'Old Peninsular Army' which could 'go anywhere and do anything'. Several young officers who served with Wellington in Spain, Portugal, the South of France and in the Waterloo campaign as staff or regimental officers went on to have illustrious military careers as senior officers in the British Army. Others found fame as politicians and diplomats. William Napier became the author of a renowned history of the Peninsular War, whilst brother James became commander in chief of the British Army in Cape Colony. Early promotion eluded Charles Napier, though he was acknowledged to be a fine soldier of extraordinary intellect and insight. Much against his inclinations he served ultimately in India where he annexed the province of Scinde after a short but brilliantly managed campaign. This book, however, does not feature the military life of Charles Napier in high command. In its pages we find him at the sharpest end of war, fighting against Napoleon's French Army in the Peninsular War as a regimental officer and in America in the War of 1812. Some of the battlefield recollections, particularly at Corunna, have rarely been surpassed in their graphic portrayal of the experience of battle in the Napoleonic era as British soldier knew it. Contains maps and illustrations not present in earlier presentations of the text.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Описание: When the President has Alzheimer's, who will notice? Who will act on it? Will their actions be for the good of the country, or for their own good? Many people believe these important questions went unasked and unanswered during the Reagan years, but author Dale Napier explores all their implications in depth in his debut political thriller, White House Storm.In this tribute to Seven Days in May, General "Stormy" Thornton disagrees violently with President Charlie Davidson's peaceful overtures to a new democratically elected Iranian regime. Using a doctor's secret assessment, Thornton realizes that Davidson's otherwise undiagnosed Alzheimer's gives him a unique opportunity to seize control of the country through Internet and broadcast communications and the military, giving him the power if not the title of the presidency.When Vice President Joan Queenan discovers what's going on, her hands are tied. The president cannot help her, and she is physically tied to her White House entourage with no freedom of movement, so she calls upon an old friend from her Congressional days, Colonel Sam Chin of the Cyber Command.Chin's forays take him to a gay Mafia capo, a mid-state Nevada brothel, a century-old New Orleans triad, a debauched Nevada senator with keys to the cyber bunker in Area 53 north of Las Vegas, and a cyber general playing all sides against the middle, gambling on the most likely outcome.Even as Chin's discoveries lead to an obvious evolution for Joan Queenan, Stormy Thornton makes one last, desperate stand to take power, sending Army troops and tanks to Pennsylvania Avenue - ostensibly to protect the White House, but with the guns pointing inward. Stormy's final stand, sending Zumwalt class nuclear-armed destroyers to attack Tehran and a Chinese fleet, spins out of control when he discovers that even he doesn't know how to stop them. The result is a taut, edge-of-the-chair thriller that will keep your reading into the wee hours of the morning."From the opening I was hooked. White House Storm transports you into a high octane political thriller that could be playing on the big screen." -Jill Cooper"Keen and accurate research, a relevant plot and absorbing read." -Sam Isenmanwww.WhiteHouseStorm.com
