Dive into the comprehensive narrative of 'A History of the Mediterranean Air War 1940-1945 Volume 4', an indispensable addition for history enthusiasts and military scholars alike. This meticulously researched volume showcases the epic air campaigns that unfolded during World War II in the Mediterranean theater. Written by esteemed author Christopher Shores and published by Grub Street, this hardback edition spans 680 pages of gripping content, expertly detailing the critical operations that shaped the region's wartime landscape.

Volume 4 begins with the dramatic assaults on the strategic island of Pantellaria, illustrating how aerial strikes paved the way for its capture. It chronicles the Allied military operations, including the fierce invasions of Sicily and southern Italy, during which the full might of Allied air power, notably bolstered by U.S. involvement, began to dominate the skies. Moreover, it covers the significant occupations of Sardinia and Corsica, portraying the coordinated air efforts that supported ground forces in this pivotal campaign.

This volume encapsulates the story of the tactical air forces, emphasizing their crucial role in the lead-up to the liberation of Rome—concurrent with the D-Day landings in France. Readers will gain insight into the often overlooked yet formidable contributions of these air forces, offering a balanced view of the challenges they faced. Explore not only the tactical dimensions but also the storied-air engagements that underline this historical period.

Available in brand new condition, with dimensions of 170 x 240 mm, this hardback edition will make a valuable addition to any collection of military history books.

The fourth volume in this momentous series commences with the attacks on the Italian island fortress of Pantellaria which led to its surrender and occupation achieved almost by air attack alone. The account continues with the ultimately successful, but at times very hard fought, invasions of Sicily and southern Italy as burgeoning Allied air power, now with full US involvement, increasingly dominated the skies overhead. The successive occupations of Sardinia and Corsica are also covered in detail. This volume, then, is essentially the story of the tactical air forces up to the point when Rome was occupied, just at the same time as the Normandy landings were occurring in north-west France. In its pages are found what can justifiably be considered the story of ‘the soldiers’ air force’. Frequently overlooked by more immediate newsworthy events elsewhere, their struggle was often of an equally Homeric nature. With regards to the long-range tactical role of the Allied heavy bombers, only the period from May to October is examined herein, while they remained based in North Africa. Thus the period from November 1943 when the US 15th Air Force was formed to pursue the strategic air offensive against the Reich, together with the RAF’s 205 Group of night bombers, will be covered in a future (sixth) volume. Volume Five will deal with the rest of the tactical war in Italy and Greece, over the Adriatic and Aegean, and with the entry into the South of France to join forces advancing southwards from Normandy.

Defective seam
Size: Large - 2 Count ( Pack of 1), Size: Large - 2 Count ( Pack of 1)
My dogs love these, defective or not. I have purchased the two ball set this is the 3rd and last time. Each set has had one ball with a defective seam on interior rubber ball which means it splits open on the first squeeze from the dogs.

Good for small dogs
Size: Small - 2 Count (Pack of 1)
These are great for small dogs that have trouble getting their mouth around a regular size tennis ball. My only issue is that they are small enough to roll under things and I end up having to move furniture to find them. My dog loves them.
