Messerschmitt Me 262: Development and Politics
by Dan Sharp
Why did Germany’s first mass-produced jet go into production so late in the war when the project had actually started months before? There have been many answers, and many myths and rumors. If only there were original documents. Wait, there are, and many are shown and discussed here.
Tractor Wars
John Deere, Henry Ford, International Harvester, and the Birth of Modern Agriculture
by Neil Dahlstrom
A case study of how “power farming” got its start at a particularly precarious time for America and also the wider world. Farm equipment manufacturers were among the largest US companies so the money is big and the egos, too.
Ian Fleming, The Complete Man
by Nicholas Shakespeare
After 60 years, could there really still be anything new to say about the man behind James Bond? Lots! And for really compelling reasons. Not least, this biography paints a picture of both characters as archetypally British, and as as more guarded than anything they say or do.
Make It Go . . . In The Snow, People and Ideas in the History of Snowmobiles

The 102nd Ambulance Company in World War I
by Andrew W. German
The US entered the war late but right away stood up medical services and set up hospitals that would be located many miles behind the front and accessible by ambulance trains. As if trench warfare and gas gangrene wasn’t bad enough, there’s also the influenza epidemic of 1918. Fortify yourselves.
