Story of World War II
The greatest and most destructive war in history, World War II involved gigantic struggles not only in Europe, but in Asia, Africa, and islands of the South Pacific as well. Peter Copeland presents a graphic overview of this historic conflict in dramatic portrayals of air, land, and sea battles, and other major events — from the German invasion of Poland in 1939 to the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri in August 1945. Forty-five ready-to-color illustrations depict exciting scenes from WWII events.
World War II Warships
All hands on deck! This fine fleet of accurately detailed ships includes twenty-eight vessels deployed in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during World War II. Included — among others — are line drawings of the ill-fated PT-109, commanded by a young John F. Kennedy; one of the many German U-boats that sunk tons of American shipping during the conflict; the USS Hornet, best remembered for launching Lt. Colonel James Doolittle’s air raids on Tokyo; and the USS Missouri,the battleship on which the Japanese surrendered.
Tanks and Armored Vehicle
A highly developed form of protected, mobile striking power, tanks are the successors to war chariots and armored elephants used by armies of ancient times. Designed to be used as part of large infantry units (as in World Wars I and II), or as a separate striking force (as in the Gulf War of 1991), the modern tank is a formidable weapon of war.
