Featured battle : Siege of Gibraltar

Part of British-Spanish Gibraltar dispute

Date : 24 June 1779 - 07 February 1783

The siege which began as a close blockade by land and sea was breached by the British Navy. Repeated attempts to shell, and storm the defenders into submission were repulsed. Morale was maintained by careful rationing, firm discipline and one spectacular sortie. A full assault failed and a supply fleet got through and the siege dwindled until a final withdrawal by the investing troops.

Davies, Steve
Another excellent Haynes manual of one of those iconic pieces of technology we wish we could own! Detailed sections on it's design and combat history (primarily covering Vietnam and Iraq), it's anatomy, systems, engines and maintenance schedules. Some really detailed and annotated diagrams and the usual crop of photos from all angles. It also has a blow-by-blow account of a training mission from the point of view of the pilot, along with an unusual viewpoint from an air-gunner.
