【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Two Royal Diplomas【電子書籍】[ King of Poland Wladyslaw III ]

＜p＞These two works are formal decrees by King Wladislaus of Hungary and Poland, granting privileges to the village of Nowotaniec, specifically the village of Lubothancze. The king elevates the village to a town governed by Magdeburg law, allowing for the establishment of markets and granting full autonomy from local authorities. The decree exempts the citizens from the jurisdiction of kingdom officials, enabling them to be judged by their own representatives. The second text serves as a historical record of the restoration of the Eastern Church of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite to the Roman Catholic jurisdiction. It emphasizes the importance of divine worship, the honor of sacred edifices, and the peaceful union of the faithful. The decree grants rights, liberties, and property restoration to the clergy of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite, ensuring their jurisdiction is respected and protected from interference by secular authorities. The document aims to enhance the spiritual well-being of the faithful and secure the future of the church within the kingdom.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】United States Army in WWII - the Mediterranean - Northwest Africa: Seizing the Initiative in the West [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ George F. Howe ]

＜p＞[Includes 11 tables, 2 charts, 34 maps and 93 illustrations]＜br /＞ The history of initial actions in a war contains lessons of special value for the professional soldier and for all students of military problems. Northwest Africa abounds in such lessons, for it covers the first massive commitments of American forces in World War II. The continent of Africa became a gigantic testing ground of tactics, weapons, and training evolved through years of peace.＜br /＞ The invasion stretched American resources to the limit. Simultaneously the country was trying to maintain a line of communications to Australia, to conduct a campaign at Guadalcanal, to support China in the war against Japan, to arm and supply Russia's hard-pressed armies on the Eastern Front, to overcome the U-boat menace in the Atlantic, to fulfill lend-lease commitments, and to accumulate the means to penetrate the heart of the German and Japanese homelands. The Anglo-American allies could carry out the occupation of Northwest Africa only by making sacrifices all along the line.＜br /＞ Two campaigns occurred there: Operation TORCH which swiftly liberated French North Africa from Vichy French control, followed by a longer Allied effort to destroy all the military forces of the Axis powers in Africa. The latter concentrated in Tunisia, where the front at one time extended more than 375 miles, and fighting progressed from scattered meeting engagements to the final concentric thrust of American, British, and French ground and air forces against two German and Italian armies massed in the vicinity of Bizerte and Tunis.＜br /＞ The planning, preparation, and conduct of the Allied operations in Northwest Africa tested and strengthened the Anglo-American alliance. Under General Dwight D. Eisenhower a novel form of command evolved which proved superior to adversities and capable of overwhelming the enemy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A sweeping narrative history of America's first major offensive of WII: the brutal campaign to take Japanese-occupied Guadalcanal.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ From August to November of 1942, US Marines, sailors, and pilots struggled against an implacable enemy: Japanese soldiers, inculcated with the ＜em＞bushido＜/em＞ tradition of death before dishonor. The glittering prize was the strategically decisive Henderson Airfield.＜br /＞ The bitter slugfest dragged on with heavy losses on both sides. More American sailors died in these battles than in all previous US wars. Each side lost twenty-four warships, and the air war claimed more than 500 US planes. Meanwhile, starving Japanese soldiers called it "the island of death."＜br /＞ In the end, American Marines, sailors, and airmen had finally halted the Japanese juggernaut that had whirled through Asia and the Pacific for five years. Guadalcanal was America's first major ground victory against Japan and, most importantly, the Pacific War's turning point.＜br /＞ Drawing on vivid accounts written by the combatants, along with Marine Corps and Army archives and oral histories, ＜em＞Midnight in the Pacific＜/em＞ is both a sweeping narrative and a compelling drama of individual Marines, soldiers, and sailors caught in the crosshairs of history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞“Jeffrey Copeland explains the complicated origins of something that most military members now take for grantedーthe promise of swift evacuation from the battlefield if wounded. Lt. Elsie Ott and her NCO Sam Rigazzi were two Army Air Forces medical professionals who made the first long-distance aerial medical flight, from India to Walter Reed Army Hospital in 1943. They were ordinary soldiers called on to do the extraordinary, and their experience set the standard for today’s highly complex medical evacuation system. Telling their story for the first time, this book brings the two to life fully and completely. I couldn’t put it down.”ーLt. Colonel Michael Burke, U.S. Army, retired.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Her story reads as an inspiring testament to the belief that one devoted person can not only save lives but change the world. Without her we may not have seen those helicopters flying in the wounded for M.A.S.H. a decade later in Korea, or today’s massive transports bringing casualties from the Middle East and other locations.”ー Jerome Klinkowitz, author of ＜em＞Their Finest Hours: The RAF and the Luftwaffe in WWII, With the Tigers Over China,1941-42, Yanks Over Europe,＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Pacific Skies: American Flyers in World War II.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Copeland straps readers alongside Ott and her five patients in the belly of the Able Mabel, a re-fitted Douglas DC-3 plane, as they attempt the first long-distance, medical air evacuation.

History of this story, which has now become a newly-completed novel, byMark Druck, retired Major, USAFR, entitled: BIX & BONES Original version of this material, written in 1946, by a young officer just returned from WWII, writing of experiences he had just been through, focusing on the B-25 wild ride, the sort of missions he flew in the 38th Bomb Group, 5th U.S. Army Air Force, against the Japanese. The missions were truly unique, flown in Billy Mitchell bombers, coming in over a target at altitudes UNDER 20 FEET, at 300 to 350 MPH, with parachutes on the bombs to slow their approximately 15-foot drop, thus enabling the bomber to escape the bomb blast. Knowing nothing of structure for a novel, he wrote a sort of my life in combat story. Having completed this work, he came to New York, met a literary agent, Maurice Crane, with MacIntosh & Otis agency, who had been a gunner on a B-17 over Germany. His plane was shot down, he became a prisoner of war. When men in the camp learned he was an agent, they promised Crane to send their novels to him. As a result, he collected dozens of mss. When the early version of this mss came in, over the transom, Crane decided it would be one of the six war stories he would represent. He praised the characterizations and dialogue as most valid. Then came June, 1950. The Korean War. Crane phoned to say War is no longer in fashion. He returned all six of the mss he had collected on WWII. Slow fade to 1978. Having met the Weisers, Olga was told about the war novel. Let George read it, she said. It was submitted on Thursday. Two business days later Monday Olga called to say We sold it. It was published under the title, The Final Mission, as a paperback. Zebra Books was thought to have printed 65,000 copies of the novel. Meanwhile, drastic changes had been made in the basic story and characters. In 1948, he studied playwrighting at the Dramatic Workshop, then a famous theatre school, he was directed to go there by the theatre worlds most famous playwright agent, Harold Freedman (he represented nearly all the then successful playwrights in USA and England of any 10 plays and musicals produced on Broadway and the West End, London during period from late 1920s-1960s, Harold Freedman represented probably six or seven). History of the material in BIX &BONES page 2 During his studies under Irwin Piscator, the famous German director, who ran the theatre school, which became part of the NEW SCHOOL, he dramatized the material in the mss. It became a drama, titled, All-American, and won an award as one of the best Off-Broadway plays of l949. In dramatizing the material and background and characters and dialogue, he created a plot, reorganized the characters to make them three-dimensional, and invented a basic conflict. The basic plot, the new characters, the one-on-one situations that were in that play are now the basis of the current version of the novel, called BIX & BONES: Harold Freedman, who had become his agent by this time (representing Druck on four plays at the time of his sudden death), felt the play could be sold to movies, because of the strong head-to-head conflict between the lead characters, the action scenes, and the dialogue. He had sold many plays to movies, including My Fair Lady, for the biggest price paid for a property up to that time, and including leasing for ten years the film rights of Harvey.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Eyewitness at Dieppe The Only First-Hand Account of WWII's Most Disastrous Raid【電子書籍】[ Ross Reyburn ]

＜p＞In August 1942, Allied forces mounted an attack on the German-held port of Dieppe; titled Operation Jubilee, it represented a rehearsal for invasion. The amphibious attack saw over 6,000 infantrymen, predominantly Canadian, put ashore, tasked with destroying German structures and gathering intelligence. The doomed raid was an abject failure, and became Canada's worst military disaster. Eyewitness at Dieppe is a long-overdue reissue of New Zealand-born writer Wallace Reyburn's dramatic account of the raid. He was with the first soldiers clambering ashore, and aboard the last ship returning to England after six hours of carnage. Awarded an OBE as the only war correspondent to witness the street fighting first-hand, Reyburn was fortunate not be numbered among Dieppe's dead, suffering just a minor wound inflicted by mortar shell fragments. His book, Rehearsal for Invasion was a wartime bestseller. Accompanied by freelance journalist Ross Reyburn's new foreword on his father's account, this new edition tells us more about Wallace's intriguing life and details the shortcomings of his father's book, dictated by wartime censorship corrected in the post-war years through a withering condemnation of raid's mastermind Lord Mountbatten.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】United States Army in WWII - the Pacific - CARTWHEEL: the Reduction of Rabaul [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ John Miller Jr. ]

＜p＞[Includes 2 tables, 11 charts, 22 maps and 71 illustrations]＜br /＞ The campaign described in the present volume was important to the Army as an experience in amphibious warfare and combined operations against a formidable and still resourceful enemy. It was also of critical importance in the evolution of American strategy in the Pacific. CARTWHEEL began as an uphill fight with means that seemed inadequate to the ends proposed, even though these were limited. But it swiftly brought our forces to a crest from which we were able to launch the two powerful drives, through the Southwest and Central Pacific, that crushed Japan before we redeployed the forces directed against Germany. The campaign put to the test the principle of unity of command, and also the capacity for co-operation between two theaters, one under Army, the other under Navy command, and both under forceful and dominant commanders. By ingenious and aggressive use of the ground, sea, and air forces at their disposal they made these suffice to achieve more than had been foreseen as possible, and opened up a new vista of strategy. They took a heavy toll of the enemy's resources, established the technique of bypassing his strongholds, including finally Rabaul itself, and threw him on the defensive. This book will be of interest not only to professional officers, but also to a wide variety of other readers and students.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

It was signed on February 1, 1411 in Thorun, one of the southernmost cities of the Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights.The Peace of Thorn was not politically stable. It took two other brief wars to solve the territorial disputes between the powers. However, large war reparations were a significant financial burden on the Teutonic Knights, causing political unrest and severe economic decline within their state. The Teutonic Knights never recovered their former political or military might.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Hailed as "masterly" (＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞) and a "monumental achievement" (Douglas Brinkley), this book tells the riveting, true story of the group of elite US and Canadian soldiers who sacrificed everything to accomplish a crucial but nearly impossible WWII mission.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In December of 1943, as Nazi forces sprawled around the world and the future of civilization hung in the balance, a group of highly trained U.S. and Canadian soldiers from humble backgrounds was asked to do the impossible: capture a crucial Nazi stronghold perched atop stunningly steep cliffs. The men were a rough-and-ready group, assembled from towns nested in North America's most unforgiving terrain, where many of them had struggled through the Great Depression relying on canny survival skills and the fearlessness of youth. Brought together by the promise to take part in the military's most elite missions, they formed a unique brotherhood tested first by the crucible of state-of-the-art trainingーincluding skiing, rock climbing, and parachutingーand then tragically by the vicious fighting they would face.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The early battle in the Italian theatre for the strategic fort cost the heroic U.S.-Canadian commando unitーtheir first special forces unit ever assembledーenormous casualties.

The unit, with its vast range of capabilities and mission-specific exercises, became a model for the "Green Berets" and other special forces groups that would go on to accomplish America's most challenging undertakings behind enemy lines.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Knitting first-hand accounts seamlessly into the narrative-drawing on interviews with surviving members and their families; the memoirs, letters, and diaries of Forcemen; and declassified documents in the American, Canadian, British, and German archivesー＜em＞The Force＜/em＞ tells a story that is as deeply personal as it is inspiring.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】United States Army in WWII - Europe - the Last Offensive [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Charles B. MacDonald ]

＜p＞[Includes 26 maps and 92 illustrations]＜br /＞ The American armies that absorbed the shock of the German counteroffensives in the Ardennes and Alsace in the winter of 1944-45 were the most powerful and professional that the United States had yet put in the field. That this was the case was abundantly demonstrated as the final campaign to reduce Nazi Germany to total defeat unfolded.＜br /＞ The campaign was remarkably varied. As it gathered momentum in the snows of the Ardennes and the mud and pillboxes of the West Wall, the fighting was often as bitter as any that had gone before among the hedgerows of Normandy and the hills and forests of the German frontier. Yet the defense which the Germans were still able to muster following the futile expenditure of lives and means in the counteroffensives was brittle. The campaign soon evolved into massive sweeps by powerful Allied columns across the width and breadth of Germany. That the Germans could continue to resist for more than two months in the face of such overwhelming power was a testament to their pertinacity but it was a grim tragedy as well. To such an extent had they subjugated themselves to their Nazi leaders that they were incapable of surrender at a time when defeat was inevitable and surrender would have spared countless lives on both sides.＜br /＞ It was a dramatic campaign: the sweep of four powerful U.S. armies to the Rhine; the exhilarating capture of a bridge at Remagen; assault crossings of the storied Rhine River, including a spectacular airborne assault; an ill-fated armored raid beyond Allied lines; the trapping of masses of Germans in a giant pocket in the Ruhr industrial region; the uncovering of incredible horror in German concentration camps; a dashing thrust to the Elbe River; juncture with the Russians; and a Wagnerian climax played to the accompaniment of Russian artillery fire in the F?hrerbunker in Berlin.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The D-Day landings on June 6th 1944 were part of the largest military operation in history. An airborne assault in Northern France was followed by amphibious landings on five Normandy beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. The Allied invasion was designed to breach the fearsome defences of the Atlantic Wall, push inland to secure towns and villages, and drive German forces south and east.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite beginning the assault with more than 7,000 ships and nearly 200,000 men, US, British and Canadian forces encountered stern German resistance in the most important engagement of the Second World War, particularly on Omaha Beach where American casualties numbered nearly 3,000. When it seemed as if the Allies had stretched their supply lines and could push no further inland, German resistance crumbled and the war in Western Europe entered the endgame.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Few events in the history of warfare have captivated public interest, and D-Day remains an inspiring and moving story.

＜p＞＜strong＞In this remarkable WWII story by ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author John R. Bruning, a renegade American pilot fights against all odds to rescue his family -- imprisoned by the Japanese--and revolutionizes modern warfare along the way.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the knife fights and smuggling runs of his youth to his fiery days as a pioneering naval aviator, Paul Irving "Pappy" Gunn played by his own set of rules and always survived on his wits and fists. But when he fell for a conservative Southern belle, her love transformed him from a wild and reckless airman to a cunning entrepreneur whose homespun engineering brilliance helped launch one of the first airlines in Asia.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Pappy was drafted into MacArthur's air force when war came to the Philippines; and while he carried out a top-secret mission to Australia, the Japanese seized his family. Separated from his beloved wife, Polly, and their four children, Pappy reverted to his lawless ways. He carried out rescue missions with an almost suicidal desperation. Even after he was shot down twice and forced to withdraw to Australia, he waged a one-man war against his many enemies -- including the American high command and the Japanese--and fought to return to the Philippines to find his family.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Without adequate planes, supplies, or tactics, the U.S. Army Air Force suffered crushing defeats by the Japanese in the Pacific. Over the course of his three-year quest to find his family, Pappy became the renegade who changed all that. With a brace of pistols and small band of loyal fol,lowers, he robbed supply dumps, stole aircraft, invented new weapons, and modified bombers to hit harder, fly farther, and deliver more destruction than anything yet seen in the air. When Pappy's modified planes were finally unleashed during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, the United States scored one of the most decisive victories of World War II.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taking readers from the blistering skies of the Pacific to the jungles of New Guinea and the Philippines to one of the the war's most notorious prison camps, ＜em＞Indestructible＜/em＞ traces one man's bare-knuckle journey to free the people he loved and the aerial revolution he sparked that continues to resonate across America's modern battlefields.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Al-Nawaw?’s place in the long-term formation of the ＜em＞madhhab＜/em＞ is significant for many reasons but for one in particular: his effort in reconciling the two major interpretive communities among the Sh?fi'ites, i.e., the t＜em＞ar?qa＜/em＞s of the Iraqians and Khurasanians. This book revisits the history of the Sh?fi'? school in the pre-Nawawic era and explores its later development in the post-Nawawic period.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Presenting a comprehensive picture of the structure of authority in Islamic law, specifically within the Shafi’ite legal tradition, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of Islamic Studies, History and Law.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Wwii Essays A Compendium of War Lore【電子書籍】[ William T. Beran ]

＜p＞This book presents fifteen essays that address a variety of subjects large and small pertaining to WWII. Short and to the point, each essay covers the subject in two minutes, making them a refreshingly quick read as history lessons go. While the gist of these brief stories is quite obvious even to a casual reader, there are references made to subject matter that many may have never encountered in their formal education nor informally gleaned from websites, books, TV, or movies. A more curious reader can easily delve into these using the subjects as key words for website browsing, and the author encourages that initiative. The writing style is non-technical, conversational, and presents lucid interpretations of data (on war deaths, for instance) in lieu of tables or graphs. Some chapters are obviously autobiographical, others derive from research, and all have concluding remarks or observations that underscore the subject matter.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Significance Of The Human Being As An Element In An Information System: WWII Forward Air Controllers And Close Air Support【電子書籍】[ Lieutenant Jamie W. Ach?e USN ]

＜p＞This research will explore the relevance of the human being as an element in an information system. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence technology, especially information technology, has had on the way human beings understand and use information systems. This study will look at the use of forward air controllers and close air support in the European Theater of Operations during WWII and evaluate the technology, the doctrine and the people involved as they related to the forward air control-close air support information system. Other areas that will be discussed as they relate to the development of close air support include: incremental vs. radical change, organizational culture and change, and the dynamic nature of current and future operations as they relate to information systems.＜br /＞ The primary research objective is to explore the answer to the following question: Based on the role of forward air controller in the European Theater of Operations during World War Two, what is the significance of the human being as an element in an information system? Secondary questions include: What are the necessary elements that make up an information system? How and where were forward air controllers used and were they effective? What were the information systems used by the forward air controllers and were they effective? Last, what implications do the findings of this research have for current technologies, organizational structure and the interaction between human beings and information systems in U.S. military operations?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Engineer Aviation Units In The Southwest Pacific Theater During WWII【電子書籍】[ Major Natalie M. Pearson ]

＜p＞The thesis of this research is that the U.S. Army aviation engineer units played a crucial role in the success of General Douglas MacArthur's island hopping campaign in the Southwest Pacific Theater at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. Allied victory depended on seizing lightly defended enemy territory and neutralizing enemy strongpoints from Australia to the Philippines through the following pattern: conduct air and naval bombardment, land the assault forces, defeat any Japanese units in the area, and construct airfields and base facilities. This research demonstrates that aviation engineer units rapidly constructed these airbases and provided the necessary facilities for land-based aircraft so that carrier-based aircraft could focus on protecting the navy's fleet.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞They were called a bunch of rag-tag soldiers, a “show division” not really meant for battle, knitted together among others with actors from the Army’s discontinued War Show Task Force and a defunct Army college program for soldiers not destined for any combat. But then they attacked the vaunted Maginot Line of underground fortresses occupied by the Nazis, arguably the stiffest spot along the Franco-German Rhine River border of Alsace, France. By the time the dust settled, the 100th had advanced further east than any division of the U.S. Seventh Army in the overlooked, yet supremely critical, third and southern front against Adolph Hitler.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜br /＞ Joseph Militano is a former investigative reporter and senior defense industry executive of more than forty years. His personal interest in the Sons of Bitche stems from his father, who served with the 100th Infantry Division in WWII.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Dive Truk Lagoon The Japanese WWII Pacific Shipwrecks【電子書籍】[ Rod Macdonald ]

＜p＞Truk Lagoon is quite simply the greatest wreck diving location in the world. Scores of virtually intact large WWII wrecks filled with cargoes of tanks, trucks, artillery, beach mines, shells and aircraft rest in the crystal clear waters of the Lagoon ? each a man-made reef teeming with life. Truk was the main forward anchorage for the Japanese Imperial Navy and merchant fleet during the early days of WWII. Protected by a 140-mile coral barrier reef, with only a few heavily defended entrances, it seemed a well-protected safe anchorage. The lagoon had been fortified by the Japanese in great secrecy during the 1930s ? the Allies knew little about it. By 1944, the tide of war had turned against the Japanese ? the Allies were pushing westwards across the Pacific islands towards the Japanese homeland. A daring U.S. long range aerial survey showed the lagoon with the full might of the Imperial Japanese Navy; battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, submarines and destroyers, along with scores of large supply ships and transports. The Allies decided to attack immediately. Sensing this, the Imperial Japanese Navy scattered but the merchant ships remained to offload their cargoes of aircraft, tanks, artillery, mines and munitions. Other heavily laden supply ships continued to arrive, unaware of the Allied assault plans. Fresh from the Kwajalein Atoll assault, Task Force 58 was formed for an immediate attack ? Operation Hailstone. In total secrecy, nine U.S. carriers holding more than 500 combat aircraft steamed towards Truk ? supported by a screen of battleships, cruisers, destroyers and submarines. Before dawn on 17 February, Strike Groups of 12 Hellcat fighters swept in low towards Truk under Japanese radar and immediately began strafing Japanese airfields. Soon, hundreds of aircraft were involved in one of the largest aerial dogfights of WWII which was over within an hour. With air superiority established, U.S dive-bombers and torpedo-bombers spent the remainder of the day and the following day sinking all the large ships trapped in the lagoon. With Truk neutralised as a naval and air base, the Pacific war soon ended. The sunken ships of Truk Lagoon with their war cargoes were largely forgotten about until 1969, when an expedition by Jacques Cousteau located and filmed many of the wrecks. The resulting TV documentary, Lagoon of Lost Ships, went viral. Truk’s secret was out ? and the beautiful wrecks, untouched since WWII, have proved an irresistible lure for thousands of divers each year since then.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
