Osprey's examination of German air forces of World War I (1914-1918). The Imperial German Army Air Service of World War I grew from just 500 men in 1914 to 80,000 in 1918, inventing in the process a wholly new form of warfare. The exploits of the first fighter 'aces' have been widely celebrated, and have tended to overshadow the other, equally important branches of the fighting air forces – the reconnaissance and ground attack units, the airships and strategic bombers. This concise but fact-packed guide to both the Army and Naval Air Services – their command, organization, strength, training, support services andoperations – offers a morebalanced picture, while giving the heroes of the Jagdstaffeln their full due. Uniforms and flying clothing are described in detail, and illustrated with rare photographs and meticulous colour plates. 54 pages, Illustrated, soft cover, very good, cover yellowed

When Robert J. Rider died in 1961, he left to his descendants a typescript text, tentatively entitled Flashbacks, which would eventually become Reflections on the Battlefield. Broadly autobiographical, this text offers a unique account of its author who fought as an infantryman while also serving as a chaplain, thus exposing himself in peculiar directness to the ambiguities of chaplaincy service on the battlefield. A further particularity is that Rider was in a minority among chaplains, being a Methodist chaplain. In August 1914, Rider, aged twenty-five, was about to begin his third year of training for the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist church, at Handsworth Theological College in Birmingham. Two months later he had enlisted with the First Birmingham Battalion, later termed the 14th Battalion, of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Rider's first-hand accounts of Ypres, the Somme and Arras reveal a man morally opposed to war and yet adamant that Germany and her allies needed to be defeated. Reflections on the Battlefield provides us with a personal and valuable contribution to the present-day debate about the contemporary understanding of the ethics of war, as expressed on the World War I battlefield. 147 pages, soft cover, very good
SILENT NIGHT brings to life one of the most unlikely and touching events in the annals of war. In the early months of WWI, on Christmas Eve, men on both sides left their trenches, laid down their arms, and joined in a spontaneous celebration with their new friends, the enemy. For a brief, blissful time, remembered since in song and story, a world war stopped. Even the participants found what they were doing incredible. Germans placed candle-lit Christmas trees on trench parapets and warring soldiers sang carols. In the spirit of the season they ventured out beyond their barbed wire to meet in No Man's Land, where they buried the dead in moving ceremonies, exchanged gifts, ate and drank together, and joyously played football, often with improvised balls. The truce spread as men defied orders and fired harmlessly into the air. But, reluctantly, they were forced to re-start history's most bloody war. SILENT NIGHT vividly recovers a dreamlike event, one of the most extraordinary of Christmas stories. 238 pages, Paperback, illustrations, very good

"Klokke Roland er mit Navn, naar jeg klemter, er det Brand,naar jeg kimer, er det Sejr i Flanderland!"
Således stod der skrevet på det store klokketårn i Gent – symbolet på belgisk modstand i krisetider. Johannes Jørgensen var i 1915 kendt for to ting: symbolisme og katolicisme. Gennem et professorat i Leuven i årene før 1. verdenskrig fik han en nær forbindelse til det katolske Belgien, som under krigen blev udsat for et voldsomt overgreb fra Tysklands side. Med ‘Klokke Roland’ trådte Johannes Jørgensen ind på den politiske scene. Han forsvarede Belgiens og de allieredes position og markerede sig som en politisk og kontroversiel debattør, som den danske offentlighed viste sig at være lydhør over for. Bogen udkom i 21 oplag alene i 1915. 0323 1. verdenskrig Belgien.

Though experts agree the "Great War" was decided in the first 20 days of fighting, long, horrible mass slaughter followed because the stakes were so high. The early fateful days are described in fascinating, horrific detail by a British officer who, as a liaison between the British and French armies, possessed a unique vantage point for observing military strategy and politics. "Spear's eye-witness narrative gives a detailed discussion of this dramatic time at the beginning of the Great War and is filled with penetrating observations, analyses of leadership and operations...illuminating discussions of the early days of aviation....This work remains a classic--a valuable primary source for the professional historian of the Great War."--"Air & Space Power Journal." 588 pages, soft cover, very good
