      A detailed study of the attractive Arado Ar 196, one of the last fighting seaplanes. It was the standard seagoing aircraft for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II, providing the Luftwaffe with reach into the southern oceans. Beating its biplane rivals in a 1936 Reich Air Ministry design competition, the Arado Ar 196 provided the Kriegsmarine with possibly the best shipborne reconnaissance seaplane of World War II. Replacing the Heinkel He 60 biplane as the standard catapult-launched floatplane embarked on the Kriegsmarine's capital ships, the Ar 196 flew an assortment of combat missions during World War II, including coastal patrol, submarine hunting, light bombing, general reconnaissance, and convoy escort sorties. The first vessel to take its Ar 196A-1s to sea was the pocket battleship Graf Spee, which embarked two in the autumn of 1939. The battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz could carry six Arados each, the battlecruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst four, and smaller pocket battleships and cruisers two. Shore-based aircraft were also operated from coastal ports on the Channel, Baltic, North Sea, and Bay of Biscay coasts, as well as in the Balkans and Mediterranean. In this title, supported by an excellent selection of photographs and full-color illustrations, Peter de Jong explores the history of the Arado Ar 196, detailing their development and assessing the combat capabilities of one of the last fighting seaplanes.

      Persönlich, glaubwürdig, visionär - die Ansichten und Standpunkte des neuen politischen Hoffnungsträgers der USA Das persönliche Buch eines ebenso nachdenklichen wie charismatischen Ausnahmepolitikers. „Eigentlich ist Obamas Buch ein Stück unmöglicher Prosa; sehr intim, ohne eine Autobiografie zu sein, ein politisches Bekenntnis, aber doch kein Manifest, ein politisches Programm, aber doch kein dröges Sachbuch. Ein Mann erzählt eine Geschichte. Und er verzahnt sie raffiniert mit seiner Geschichte.“ taz „Aber nicht die Kriegsgegnerschaft, sondern der weltoffene Blick und die Intelligenz machen Obama zu einem hervorragenden Anwärter auf das Weisse Haus. Mit seinem Buch stellt er dies überzeugend unter Beweis.“ SONNTAGS ZEITUNG „In sehr kurzer Zeit hat es Barack Obama geschafft, sich als Gegenstand von nationalem Interesse, Neugier und unbestimmter Hoffnung zu etablieren. Dieses Buch rechtfertigt diese Gefühle vollkommen.“ Gary Hart, New York Times
