About this book The Condor Legion was the expeditionary force of soldiers and airmen sent by Hitler to aid Franco’s Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. The Germans used the war as an opportunity to develop equipment and tactics, and their force included not only instructors, but also combat units of artillery, tanks and aircraft. These units tested guns, tanks and planes and perfected techniques which were used in the 1940 Blitzkrieg. Many of officers prominent in the early campaigns of World War II won their first successes in Spain. This book details the Legion and its unique uniform and insignia. Contents • Background: the Spanish Civil War • The involvement of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy • The first airlift from Morocco • Formation of the Legion Condor • Chronology • The ground forces • The air component • Uniforms and insignia

About this book One of the most celebrated moments in Scottish history, the Jacobite Rising of 1745 is often romanticized. Drawing on the work of historians and a wide range of contemporary sources, Culloden expert Stuart Reid strips away the myths surrounding the events of the campaign, revealing some of the lesser known and fascinating truths about the Rising. Illustrated with contemporary sketches and meticulous full-colour reconstructions of dress and equipment, the raising of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army is examined in detail - from its organization in regiments and their command system, to its weapons, tactical strengths and weaknesses. Contents • Historical background • The context - development of Scottish military institutions • Recruitment, 1745: genuine volunteers - conscripts: Highland clan system - Lowland recruitment - mercenaries - 'turned' prisoners of war • Organization - integration of semi-feudal groups into larger units • Cavalry • The French contingent • Weapons, other equipment, and fighting tactics • The aftermath - prisoner recruitment into British Army • The Plates (clothing and uniforms)
