Synopsis
'Necessity is the mother of invention' and nothing is more necessary than victory in war. Driven by the need to defeat Hitler's Nazis and Japanese Imperial ambitions, the period 1939 - 1945 saw huge and unprecedented leaps in the invention and development of war winning weapons and technology. Well-known author and military expert David Wragg has studied the whole range of land, sea and air technical innovations that originated during the Second World War. Most obvious and strategically important is the Atomic Bomb (and its successor the Hydrogen Bomb) but the list is truly fascinating - cruise and ballistic missiles, landing craft, self-propelled guns assault ships, IFF (identification friend or foe), jet engines, sonar, ejection seats to name but some. A number of inventions, while important at the time, had no longer term use; for instance dive-bombers. Others were available but not used until postwar such as in-flight refueling. The author concludes from his extensive research arguing that there is little new in defense today as so many modern weapons trace their origins back to the Second World War. This is an original and thought-provoking book by a highly respected military history author.

    Great experience purchasing from them. The item arrived so well packed and secured that it took me around 5+ minutes just to open fully. Condition was as advertised (photos were accurate), price was exceptional, and the item was delivered ahead of schedule. I hope to be able to buy from them again!

    Items came exactly as described. All of the Blu rays and steelbook look fantastic. I am very happy with the quality of the product. The value I got, for the condition of the items is fantastic. I was able to make use of a “buy 8, get 50%” deal, which made the value quite incredible actually. Items were packaged professionally and shipped with care. All items were individually bubble wrapped and shipped in a box. Shipping was fast via USPS with tracking. I would do business with the seller again
