Yarmuk 636AD, The Muslim Conquest of Syria by David Nicolle

Straddling the modern UN ceasefire line between Israel and Syria, the battlefield of Yarmuk is a rugged, ancient landscape. Here thirteen centuries ago, the army of Byzantium, successor to the Roman Empire, confronted the new, dynamic power of the Muslim Arabs. With a wide range of rarely seen illustrations, plus superb full-colour maps and graphics, David Nicolle sifts fact from legend to tell the story of one of history's truly decisive campaigns - from the Muslim invasion of 633/4 to the fall of Byzantine Syria.

Book price £12.99. Book serial number Osprey 31.

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...

New Dambusters Paintings, Prints and Drawings!



A brand new series of releases featuring the aircraft and airmen of the Dambusters Raid.

This superb new collection of aviation art shows may of the famous events of the raids, but also shows some of the lesser known aircraft and details - the bomber that was so low that the tallboy bomb was ripped from the aircraft by a high wave (above), or the below treetop route to the target taken by one of the bombers, or the trains that were shot up by the gunners of the Lancasters on their way to the dams.
