Battle of Midway America's Decisive Strike in the Pacific in WWII【電子書籍】[ John Grehan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands on 7 December 1941, had severely damaged the United States Pacific Fleet but had not destroyed it, for the fleet’s aircraft carrier force had been at sea when the Japanese struck. This meant that, despite the overwhelming success of Japanese military forces across the Pacific, US carrier-based aircraft could still attack Japanese targets.</p> <p>After the Battle of the Coral Sea in early May 1942, in which both sides had lost one carrier, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, calculated that the US had only two serviceable carriers left. If those remaining carriers could be lured into a battle with the Combined Fleet and destroyed, nothing could stop the Japanese achieving complete control of the South Pacific.</p> <p>It would take the United States many months, even with its massive industrial muscle, to rebuild its carried fleet if it was destroyed, by which time Japan would be able to secure the raw materials needed to keep its war machine functioning and to build all the bases it required across the Pacific, which would enable its aircraft to dominate the entire region.</p> <p>Aware of the sensitivity of the Americans towards Hawaii after the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto believed that if he attacked there again, the US commander, Admiral Nimitz would be certain to commit all his strength to its defence. Yamamoto selected the furthest point of the Hawaiian Islands, the Naval Air Station on the Midway Atoll, for his attack, which was beyond the range of most US land-based aircraft.</p> <p>Yamamoto launched his attack on 4 June 1942. But the US had intercepted and deciphered Japanese signals and Nimitz, with three not two aircraft carriers, knew exactly Yamamoto’s plans. Yamamoto had hoped to draw the US carriers into his trap but instead he sailed into an ambush.</p> <p>The four-day battle resulted in the loss of all four Japanese aircraft carriers, the US losing only one. The Japanese were never able to recover from these losses, and it was the Americans who were able to take control of the Pacific. The Battle of Midway, unquestionably, marked the turning point in the war against Japan.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 661円

From Sapper to Spitfire Spy The WWII Biography of David Greville-Heygate DFC【電子書籍】[ Sally-Anne Greville Heygate ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>David Greville-Heygate was one of the few men who served in both the army and the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, but it was in the sky that he really earned his stripes. Stalking the skies flying photo-reconnaissance missions with No. 16 Squadron over Northern France, he was to win the illustrious and highly coveted Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). Another highlight saw him in action in the skies above the French coastline in preparation for the D-Day landings, taking photographs that would provide the allies with essential intelligence upon which to base their plans. Based in Holland in December 1944, David flew armed recces with No.168 Squadron then transferred to No.2 Squadron where he reported on troop movements behind German lines. During the course of a dynamic and eventful career, he flew a wide variety of iconic wartime aircraft including Lysanders, Mustangs, Typhoons and Spitfires in England, the Netherlands and Germany.Although there have been many stories about the Battle of Britain there has been less published about the life of a photo reconnaissance pilot during this time. David's thrilling exploits in the sky and the part he played within the context of the wider war are enlivened here to great effect by his daughter, Sally-Anne Greville Heygate, herself a professional photographer. Using snippets from diary entries, letters, logbooks, squadron records and other documents, she has managed to construct an engaging history of a talented photo-reconnaissance pilot and the war in which he fought.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,936円

Hitler's Attack U-Boats The Kriegsmarine's WWII Submarine Strike Force【電子書籍】[ Jak P. Mallmann Showell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“A definitive introduction by a highly recognized authority who writes beautifully and clearly.” ー<em>Naval Historical Foundation</em></strong></p> <p>The fact that German submarines almost managed to cut off Britain’s vital imports during the First World War hadn’t been forgotten by Hitlerーand when, in 1935, he repudiated the Treaty of Versailles, Britain, magnanimously, signed an Anglo-German Naval Agreement. This allowed the Germans to build their submarine strength up to one third of the Royal Navy’s tonnage.</p> <p>When war broke out in 1939, German U-boats went quickly into action, but with only four years of production and development, the main armament of these submarines was considerably weaker than equivalent boats in other navies and many other features, such as living conditions, were also significantly inferior. Yet, the German U-boat onslaught against British merchant ships in autumn 1940 was highly successful because the attacks were made on the surface at night and from such close range that a single torpedo would sink a ship.</p> <p>Soon, though, Allied technology was able to detect U-boats at night, and new convoy techniques, combined with powerfully armed, fast modern aircraft searching the seas, meant that by 1941 it was clear that Germany was losing the war at sea. Something had to be done. The new generation of attack U-boats that had been introduced since Hitler came to power needed urgent improvement. This is the story of the Types II, VII, and IX that had already become the ‘workhorse’ of the Kriegsmarine’s submarine fleet and continued to put out to sea to attack Allied shipping right up to the end of the war. The Type II was a small coastal boat that struggled to reach the Atlantic; the Type VII was perfectly at home there, but lacked the technology to tackle well protected convoys; while the Type IX was a long-range variety modified so it could operate in the Indian Ocean.</p> <p>This book by the renowned Kriegsmarine historian explores these attack U-boats at length, including details of their armament, capabilities, and crew facilities; the story of their development and operational history; and just what it was like to operate such a vessel.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,936円

Find 'Em, Chase 'Em, Sink 'Em The Mysterious Loss of the WWII Submarine USS Gudgeon【電子書籍】[ Mike Ostlund ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Now in paperback, revised and updated, the stirring and authoritative account of one of World War II's most highly decorated submarines</strong></p> <p><em>Find 'Em, Chase 'Em, Sink 'Em</em> is the first book to recount the tragic and mysterious loss of the World War II submarine USS Gudgeon. In April 1944, the highly decorated submarine USS Gudgeon slipped beneath the waves in one of the most treacherous patrol areas in the most dangerous military service during World War II. Neither the Gudgeon nor the crew was ever seen again.</p> <p>Author Mike Ostlund's “Uncle Bill,” the operator of a farm implements business, was aboard that ship as a lieutenant junior grade. Through extensive research of patrol reports in U.S. and Japanese naval archives, interviews with veterans who had served aboard the Gudgeon before its final patrol, and the personal effects of the lost men's relatives, Ostlund has assembled the most accurate account yet of this remarkably successful submarine's exploits, of the men aboard from steward to captain, and of what we now know about her demise. <em>Find 'Em, Chase 'Em, Sink 'Em</em> details the memories and life lessons of the young men who went to sea aboard Gudgeon before its last patrol knowing hardly anything, and came home having seen too much.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,303円

Wars Apart: WWII letters of love and anguish ? from Cairo to Christchurch【電子書籍】[ Alan Samson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Wars Apart</em> is the cross-forces' World War II love story of Norman and Gwen Samson, as told in a cache of letters made public after 75 years hidden from view. Serving in the Middle East, both had distinguished service records, she with the South African Army, he with the British. Though also British, Gwen enlisted while working in Africa, quickly rising to become personal assistant to the two most senior members of the South African forces, Field Marshal and prime minister Jan Christiaan Smuts and General Francois Henry Theron; Norman was a senior figure in Britain's organisation of troops and transport.<br /> Though rarely able to be together, they gained permission to marry in Cairo. Towards war's end, a pregnant Gwen was repatriated to her father's home in Scotland. But when Norman was finally able to follow, the reunion was short-lived. Apparently suffering from post-traumatic stress, a suicide attempt saw him voluntarily committed to an asylum. Apart again. As the letters kept coming, however, each one was indicative of a deep and enduring love. In 1947, the now family of three emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand, where there were more twists to the story.<br /> The book is told mostly through the couple's many surviving letters, interspersed with meticulously researched historical context and human stories. It also includes a wide range of historical photos, most from the Samson family collection and not previously published.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 650円

Memorial Road WWII Memoirs of Corporal John Calvin Estes, T5【電子書籍】[ Ginger Ausban ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Did you grow up hearing "war stories'' from your father or grandfather? Are you a history buff and can't get enough of WWII? Memorial Road offers a different perspective on the war from the experiences of a true ground soldier. Most WWII books are written or told by Colonials or Generals, high ranking officers. John C Estes was a young, hard working family man, practical joker, and volunteer from the state of Tennessee who gave up his deferment status and joined the Army to help his President. In doing so, he trained as a combat engineer and received Army Ranger training. He moved to the front line on Day-D, June 6, 1944, in Normandy and kept his feet on the ground touring Europe through occupation until December 9, 1045. He said he became a foreign soil expert because he dug so many fox holes. He and a buddy robbed a Nazi owned bank and after the war he used the money during occupation to rebuild a war devastated German town. He survived numerous deadly situations but suffered only a scratch and a small case of scabies and returned home penniless. This is not a technical book; Instead, it's about the human side of the most hideous time in history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 410円

Forgotten Island: The WWII Story of One Sailor's Survival on Japanese-Occupied Guam【電子書籍】[ John J. Domagalski ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The opening days of World War II in the Pacific found the island of Guam in the Mariana Islands to be an isolated American possession that was nearly surrounded by Japanese territory. The island came under immediate attack with the start of hostilities. The small garrison of marines, navy personnel, and Guamanians surrendered to Japanese invaders after offering only token resistance.</p> <p>However, not all of the American servicemen capitulated. Navy radioman George Ray Tweed was one of six sailors who disappeared into the thick interior jungle. The Japanese occupiers quickly solidified control over the island and began a ruthless search for the missing sailors. Five of the Americans were eventually found and mercilessly killed. The sole survivor, Tweed spent the next thirty-one months on the runーsometimes literally running for his lifeーstaying just one step ahead of his hunters. He continually eluded his pursuers through the use of his survival skills, some good luck, and the generous help of Guamanian civilians, often at great risk to their own safety.</p> <p>During the two and a half years the sailor remained in hiding, American forces were fighting their way across the Pacific. The events reached a crescendo in the summer of 1944 with the arrival of the American fleet in Guam. A major naval battle, an amphibious invasion, the rescue of George Tweed, and a brutal fight to liberate Guam all combine to bring this epic story to a close.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,571円
