From the B-17 Flying Fortress and PBY Catalina, via the F-4 Phantom

have always been the long-range, heavy bombing element of Israeli 

air power. 69 Sqdn. fought in six wars and flew thousands of missions.

1948. The final B-17 missions were flown during the 1956 Suez War, the 

last of the Flying Fortresses to bomb operationally anywhere. From 

1969, the Hammers flew the legendary F-4 through participation in 

the War of Attrition, the Yom Kippur War and the Lebanon War. Flying 

the F-15I since 1998, the Hammers story of operations, aircraft and 

persons is the essence of this book that unveils, for the first time ever, 

the full story of Israeli B-17 operations, the complete story of how the 

Israeli Phantoms defeated the Syrian SAM network in Lebanon, the 

thundering introduction of the F-15I into Israeli service, and much

From the late-1800s up to the beginning of World War I some of the

Wilhelm II’s cavalry regiments. Each stein portrayed the unique 

uniform colors, owner, service dates, and fellow servicemen of the 

regiment. These steins represent a time of military fashion that disappeared 

during World War I. The steins presented in this book are 

organized by cavalry service branch, beginning with the heavy cavalries 

of Prussia and Saxony, followed by the Hussar and Uhlan (lancer) 

regiments, and finishing with representative steins of the Mounted 

Rifle (Jäger Zu Pferde) and Dragoon regiments. Each stein is well illustrated 

in large color photos. This book provides an accurate collector’s 

reference for cavalry regimental steins of the Kaiser’s time.

history of nations destroyed. This book explains 326 flags, of which 

219 are national flags and additional flags of international organizations,

and significance are recounted, along with explanations of its colors and 

symbols. Informative statistics also provided additional information about 

the countries and nations flying these flags. This book is for anyone with a

Captain Tulli Messer-Bookman 

• advice for women in law enforcement, firefighting, military and maritime service, 

construction and forestry 

• learn what to expect and what to avoid in the workplace 

• welcomes the merits of being a “lady” 

This unconventional and refreshingly candid book offers delightful and 

gritty advice to women working and living in masculine environments. 

The author’s first-hand experiences can help women work more smoothly, 

happily, and successfully in any profession where men and women are 

in close quarters, such as law enforcement, firefighting, any aspect of the 

maritime industry, construction, forestry, and the military. Written frankly, 

it covers everything from avoiding embarrassing male colleagues with 

one’s laundry, to graciously deflecting their romantic advances. This book 

challenges the politically correct, hair-trigger sensitivities some women 

hold regarding sexual harassment and discrimination. It gives new-found 

respect to women who have endured sometimes brutal harassment in order 

to blaze trails into male-dominated professions. It applauds the merits of 

being a “lady,” not just a woman, no matter what the setting. The book is 

sobering, laugh-out-loud funny, and thought-provoking.

Filipino tattoos: ancient to modern 

Lane Wilcken 

• Philippines originally called by Spanish explorers “the islands of the painted people” 

• individual motifs identified and explained 

• tattoo similarities with the Pacific Islands explored 

Tattooing is a very old and spiritually respected art form that has existed in 

many different cultures around the world. After many centuries of not being 

practiced in Europe, tattooing was re-introduced to the Western world 

through the inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean. Beginning in the 16th century, 

European explorers came across many people who practiced tattooing as an 

integral part of their cultures. This is the first serious study of Filipino tattoos, 

and it considers early accounts from explorers and Spanish-speaking writers. 

The text presents Filipino cultural practices connected with ancestral and 

spiritual aspects of tattoo markings, and how they relate to the process and 

tools used to make the marks. In the Philippine Islands, tattoos were applied 

to men and women for many different reasons. It became a form of clothing. 

Certain designs recognized manhood and personal accomplishments as 

well as attractiveness, fertility, and continuity of the family or village. Facial 

tattoos occurred on the bravest warriors with names that denoted particular 

honor.

Story of the “Know-How” Missile 

of American Rocketry James N. 

Gibson. The Navaho program is the 

least known, yet the most important 

of the United States early missile 

programs. In rocket technology 

alone made possible the Thor, Jupiter

the construction of the Atlas 

ICBM’s engines, and in the years to 

come this engine technology would 

power the Apollo moon rocket and 

present-day Space Shuttle.

Touching Space: The Story of 

Project Manhigh Gregory P. Kennedy. 

Project Manhigh took humans 

to the threshold of space using 

balloons. On each of the three flights, 

the Air Force placed a lone pilot in 

a sealed capsule nineteen miles 

above the ground. At such extreme 

altitudes, the pilots were well within 

the functional equivalent of outer 

space and needed the sealed capsule 

to survive. Manhigh existed prior 

to the creation of NASA and helped 

pave the way for human space 

exploration.

JG 7: The World’s First Jet 

Fighter Unit 1944/1945 Manfred 

Boehme. Formed in August 1944, 

Jagdgeschwader 7 was equipped 

with the revolutionary Me 262 jet 

fighter, which was faster than any 

aircraft in existence at the time. This 

unit experienced all of the highs and 

lows associated with the introduction 

of such a radically new design. 

Thus the history of JG 7 is also the 

story of the Me 262, an inspired 

design which broke new ground in 

many areas of technology, and for 

which there was simply not enough 

time for thorough development.

pilots – a unique composition for

WWII drew to a close, an unusual airplane 

took to the skies over Leipzig- 

Brandis on its maiden flight. It was 

the prototype version of the Ju 287

used by American armored units 

during this period. Starting with 

the American Expeditionary Force 

and the Tank Corps, it works its way 

through the Infantry-Tank units, 

mechanized cavalry, the first four 

armored divisions and even the GHQ

remains a reflection of a segment of 

mankind gone mad in the inferno of 

WWII on the eastern front.

Police Battalions of the Third

that the German Police Battalions 

played in the destruction of the 

Jews and the Eastern European 

nationalities that the Third Reich had 

deemed superfluous or dangerous 

is little known. The German Police, 

often aided by local auxiliaries shot 

at close range over a million people 

in less than two years. Later in the 

war the battalions were formed 

into regiments and absorbed into 

the SS where they were active in 

the hunt for partisan bands behind 

the front lines. In this book you will 

find a history of each battalion and 

the men who participated in these

Imperial German Edged 

Weaponry Thomas M. Johnson with 

Victor Diehl and Thomas Wittmann. 

This three volume set on Imperial 

German swords, daggers, and bayonets 

is a follow-up to the author’s 

successful and highly acclaimed 

four-volume series on World War 

II German (2005), and his equally 

heralded three-volume series on 

World War II German swords (2006) 

– both sets from Schiffer Publishing.

the result of many years of arduous 

research on both sides of the Atlantic 

with several dozen advanced 

Imperial blade collectors making 

contributions. Additionally, the 

author’s long-term relationship with 

key personnel in the Solingen edged 

weapon industry opened numerous 

doors in the preparation of this 

invaluable reference series.
