British Napoleonic Artillery 1793-1815 (2): Siege and Coastal Artillery
Following on from the first volume covering British Napoleonic Artillery, this volume concentrates on the heavy weapons of siege and coastal defences. This book covers the main equipments used; the 24 pounder siege gun and a variety of mortars. Mortars varied from 4- or 5-inch versions up to a13 inch calibre and were considered to be extremely effective because they used an exploding shell to destroy fortifications or personnel. Also covered in detail is the specialist bomb vessel, which was used to attack fortifications in a similar fashion; siege techniques; and the tactical use of siege and coastal artillery.- Shop: buecher

¿Das Grab im Korallenriff (eBook, ePUB)
Platschend ließ sich Fred Pounder in die hochaufspritzende Flut fallen. Gurgelnd schoß das Wasser über ihm zusammen. Die Bleigewichte an seinem Gürtel zogen ihn tiefer - immer tiefer. Über ihm war die helle Lichtwelt, vom goldenen Glanz der Sonne beschienen, wo eine leichte Brise die Oberfläche des Meeres kräuselte und die im fernen Westen gelegenen Nebeninseln von Barbados wie ein Postkartenmotiv wirkten. Unter ihm aber tat sich eine andere Welt auf. Eine Welt, die der Arm des Menschen nie hatte zivilisieren können. Hier gilt noch das Recht des Stärkeren. Hier überlebt nur der, der schneller, listenreicher und kräftiger ist. Wer aber unterliegt, der wird zur Speisung des Jägers. Und seine Überreste sinken in die Tiefe. Und gerade hier, im äußersten Westen der Karibik, hält sich beharrlich die Legende vom Friedhof unter dem Meer. Die Sage von den Gräbern unter den Korallen...- Shop: buecher
