Featured battle : Cheriton

Part of The Civil Wars of the Three Kingdoms

Date : 29 March 1644

Sir Ralph Hopton brought William Waller to battle, hoping to make it decisive. Early succeses by the Royalist foot were overshadowed by chaotic and piecemeal cavalry action, badly coordinated by the Earl of Forth, drawing the whole Royalist effort further into the 'arena' formed by the ridges. Waller was able to out-flank Hopton and the Royalists fell back to Basing House.

Boeing B52 Stratofortress, Owners Workshop Manual

Davies, Steve
Another excellent Haynes manual of one of those iconic pieces of technology we wish we could own! Detailed sections on it's design and combat history (primarily covering Vietnam and Iraq), it's anatomy, systems, engines and maintenance schedules. Some really detailed and annotated diagrams and the usual crop of photos from all angles. It also has a blow-by-blow account of a training mission from the point of view of the pilot, along with an unusual viewpoint from an air-gunner.
Haynes, Feb 2013
