88mm FlaK 18/36/37/41 & PaK 43 1936-45 by John Norris

The German 88mm was by far the most famous and versatile artillery weapon of World War II.  It was first used as an anti-aircraft weapon by the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War and saw further service in the German invasions of Poland and France, where it was first used in its anti-tank role.  This role was particularly successful and the 88 became feared by tank crews from North Africa to Russia.  Apart from these two main roles the 88mm also served as the main weapon on late-war German tanks, as a self-propelled gun, and even as an aerial weapon.  This book covers all these variants, explaining their design, development and operational use.

Book price £8.99. Book serial number Osprey NV46.

Infantry Mortars of World War II by John Norris

The mortar has proved to be one of the most influential and prevalent infantry support weapons of the 20th century.  Throughout the course of World War II many different varieties of this weapon were used by the six main protagonists in the war: Britain, the USA, the Soviet Union, Germany, Italy and Japan.  Although the concept of the mortar remained constant, calibres and usage varied enormously according to tactical use and terrain.  This title covers all variants from the British 3-in.-equipped 'Heavy Weapon Companies', through to the Soviet 12cm mortars, which were incorporated into the Tank Corps for the storming of Berlin in 1945.

Book price £8.99. Book serial number Osprey NV54.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Ivan Berryman



Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception.
