P-47 Thunderbolt Aces of the Eighth Air Force - Jerry Scutts - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

P-47 Thunderbolt Aces of the Eighth Air Force - Jerry Scutts - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The US aviation industry produced three great fighter designs to equip its burgeoning army air force during World War 2, and of this trio, Republic''s P-47 Thunderbolt was easily the heaviest. Powered, crucially, by a turbocharged Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine that produced 2000 hp, the first production fighters reached the 56th FG in June 1942, and six months later the group joined the Eight Air Force in Britain. The arrival of the first P-47Cs in mid-1943 addressed the problem of the aircraft''s short combat radius, as this model could be fitted with an external tank. Slowly, as combat tactics evolved in units like the 56th and 78th FGs, pilots learnt how best to fly the Thunderbolt in order to effectively counter the more nimble Luftwaffe fighters.

Wisden at The Oval - Jon Surtees - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Wisden at The Oval - Jon Surtees - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Oval in Kennington, south London--with its instantly recognizable gasholders--is one of sport''s most iconic and popular venues. It has played host to an array of blue-ribbon sporting events over the years, including the FA Cup final and rugby''s first varsity match. But it is as an iconic cricket venue that it is so widely known and loved.Since opening in 1845, The Oval has been the home of Surrey County Cricket Club, and these days it traditionally hosts the final Test match of the English season. It was one of the first grounds to stage a Test match (second only to Melbourne''s MCG), when it hosted England–Australia in 1880, and its place in sporting history continues as 2017 sees the 100th Test match at the venue. The modern-day history of cricket can be told purely by referencing events that have taken place at The Oval or players that called the ground home. Wisden at The Oval takes the reader through that rich history, delving into the Almanack''s archive, and arguing that more memorable events and moments have happened at The Oval than any other ground in the world. It will showcase the remarkable matches and series: from that first Test match in England and the subsequent birth of the Ashes, to the first ever official County Championship (won by Surrey), the first ever One Day World Cup in 1975, The Oval''s key role in the birth of Twenty20 in 2003, and the biggest series of modern times with the 2005 Ashes and three subsequent Ashes victories in the following decade. It will celebrate the outstanding players and performances, including: Jack Hobbs, who played home games and his final Test at The Oval; Len Hutton''s astounding 364* in 1938; Don Bradman''s final innings; the iconic performances of Surrey''s Jim Laker; Fred Trueman becoming the first player to take 300 Test wickets; the era-defining West Indians of the 70s and 80s who called it a home from home; and all the greats of the game through to today.
