Featured battle : Savigliano

Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Date : 18 September 1799

Perhaps over confident from their success over a much smaller Austrian force at Fossano the French did not retreat quickly enough from the much larger Austrian force. The French were lucky to extricate over 5,000 men when faced with an enemy superiority of three to one.

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.
