Crimson Spearhead: An Illustrated History of the First Special Service Force
Original price was: $59.95.$29.99Current price is: $29.99.
Much has been written about the First Special Service Force, much of it inaccurate. A couple of Hollywood movies (The Devil’s Brigade and Anzio) didn’t get it right, either. Just ask a former member of the SSF! The author takes care of all of that here. He details the way the American-Canadian strike force was created, recounts their activities and tells how they got their nickname.

Defending the Dominion: Canadian Military Rifles 1855-1955
The author has researched the use, acquisition and disposal of every known purchase of long-arms by the Canadian Militia between 1855 and 1955. The dates were chosen as the logical commencement of Canadas Militia, due in large part to the Militia Act of that year, while the end date brings to a close the general issue and use of the Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle. This 100-year period is unsurpassed for the design and invention of rifles. The book contains 13 appendices, a bibliography and end-notes. This is a must have addition for any firearms enthusiasts bookshelf.
Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight
Ever wondered what it would be like to fly a biplane or triplane in the First World War? Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight takes you to the Western Front during the Great War. Experience the risks of combat and the many close calls Collishaw had as a pilot, flight commander, and squadron leader. Understand the courage Collishaw and his fellow flyers faced every day they took to the air in their small, light, and very manoeuvrable craft to face the enemy.
As the third-highest-scoring flying ace among British and colonial pilots in the First World War, scoring 60 victories, Collishaw was only surpassed by Billy Bishop and Edward Mannock. This book traces Collishaw's life from humble beginnings in Nanaimo, British Columbia, to victories in the skies over France.
