Osprey Military Journal Volume 2 - 1 : 12 O'Clock High : The Eighth Air Force's Baptism of Fire

Myths spring up quickly from the confusion of battle; it also does not always help that history is written by the victors. This issue looks at a number of contentious issues in military history: the battle of Bannockburn; the Boer War; the performance of the German Army in World War II and Hollywood's treatment of war.
