Desert Eagles. By Humphrey Wynn . Airlife Publishing; ISBN: 1853103829. Our Price: £15.95
	Desert Eagles tells the story of two American pilots who served in P-40 Kittyhawk fighteribomber squadrons in the desert air force in 1942 before, during and after the Battle of El Alamein. Both pilots, Hal Marting and Ed Miluck, had come to Britain in 1941 as volunteers of the American Eagle Squadrons. Both men kept diaries of their Middle East experiences and it is on these first-hand accounts that the book is based. Hal Marting was shot down on the day the Battle of El Alamein began, captured and taken by the Germans to Athens. There he escaped and with the help of the Greek Resistance evaded recapture, being taken across the Aegean Sea to Turkey and journeying from there back to Cairo by train. The two pilots were reunited in Cairo on 31 December.1942. Marting was awarded the Military Cross in July 1943 but sadly was killed in an air crash in September 1943. Humphrey Wynn has used his own knowledge of the period to provide a background to the diary material and has produced a fascinating account of these two mens' war. Click here to view details

The Desert War. By Bob Carruthers . Cassell Military; ISBN: 0304357138. Our Price: £19.99
	The war in the desert gave Britain her first significant victory in World War II when Wavell's late-1940 offensive rolled back the Italians from the borders of Egypt as far as Bengazi and beyond. However this led on to German intervention and the arrival, in 1941, of Rommel and his Afrika Korps and the stage was set for two years of thrust and counter-thrust as British and Commonwealth forces fought the Axis along the North African littoral. This illustrated volume analyzes this period of fighting in depth. It tells the story of the Afrika Korps and the Desert Rats, of the ebb and flow of the desert war. It includes hundreds of photographs, extensive battle maps, together with detailed plan views and specifications of equipment. Click here to view details
