The cartoon has a special place in the history of World War II, and the power of its message was felt by all sides of the conflict. Acclaimed cartoon historian Dr Mark Bryant has amassed a marvellous collection of images in colour and black and white, some famous, others not so – from, amongst others, British, French, American, Italian, German, Soviet and Japanese sources – which now appear in paperback form for the first time. *Timed to co-incide with the 75th anniversary of the start of WWII.

A History of the Mediterranean Air War, 1940-1945, Volume One
Christopher Shores
Giovanni Massimello and Russell Guest
This is the first volume of a seminal series which aims to give full coverage of all aspects of aerial operations throughout the whole of the Mediterranean area during the Second World War. Operations directly over the main battlefronts are dealt with on a daily basis. However, to allow a clearer view to be obtained of operations elsewhere in the theatre, or of a different nature, separate chapters deal specifically with theĀ night bombers, the air defence of the base areas, and the naval co-operation activities. Wide use of maps will be made throughout this and subsequent volumes together with a considerable number of photographs integrated into the text, many never seen before. Long awaited by many, if any work can be said to be comprehensive and definitive, this is it.

A Doctor’s War
Aidan MacCarthy
As an RAF medical officer, Aidan had served in France, survived Dunkirk, and was plunged into adventures in the Japanese-American arena comparable with those of famous war heroes. Interned by the Japanese in Java, he helped his fellow prisoners with amazing ingenuity in awful conditions. En route back to Japan in 1944, his ship was torpedoed but he was rescued by a whaling boat and re-interned in Japan. His life was literally saved by the dropping of the Nagasaki atom bomb. He was then eyewitness to the horror and devastation it caused. This is an almost incredible account written with humour and dignity.

Lancaster Down!
Steve Darlow
During WWII, on one raid alone, Nuremburg March 1944, more Bomber Command airmen lost their lives than were lost in the Battle of Britain. These were ordinary men who became part of extraordinary events. One such was Arthur Darlow, the author’s grandfather. A pilot of a Lancaster crew in 405 RCAF crew, they were one of the legions of men who took the offensive against the enemy for most of the war. Their story, vividly recreated here, is special.
