In September 1939, the Henschel Hs 126 was the main tactical reconnaissance aircraft of the Luftwaffe but the Polish campaign did not see its operational debut. In late 1938, the Legión Cóndor had decided to replace its ageing Heinkel He 45s and He 46s with this new type, which was used in combat in the final stages of the Spanish civil war and two were lost in operations. The last Henschel was struck off charge in the Spanish inventory in 1953, sixteen years after the maiden flight of an Hs 126. This book includes numerous unpublished photos, the first correct line drawings of the Hs 126 A-1 version and colour profiles by Erik Pilawskii, plus artwork by Txetxu Rubio.

This book takes a fresh approach to the London Blitz by viewing this time through individual local boroughs of the metropolis. The term ¿London Blitz¿ means that culturally we have become accustomed to understanding that the actual blitz experience was the same wherever in the capital one happened to be, despite some areas being hit more than others. This book illustrates how there were many London blitzes, not one, influenced by a myriad of metropolitan localities, and giving rise to an agency of locality that helped to shape the lived blitz experience. By walking through the streets of London, this book conducts a local area analysis, witnessing the blitz through six London localities, representative of the assorted administrative, economic, and socio-political variables prevalent in wartime London. Covering air raids alongside topics like the provision of shelters, homelessness, and communal feeding, it shows how any history of the London Blitz must acknowledge that it was an experience reflective of a varied metropolis.

"... Ce ne sont là toutefois que les plans lointains et les grandes lignes du tableau. Ramenez vos regards sur la ville elle-même, ou plutôt regardez à vos pieds. Au milieu de l'échiquier formé par les terrasses des maisons, et parmi les fleurs dont ces terrasses sont ornées, vous verrez surgir, comme d'un immense bouquet, les clochers, les églises, avec leurs dômes de faïence jaune et bleue, les maisons enfin avec les murs bariolés et les balcons pavoisés de coutil qui leur donnent sans cesse un air de fête. La cathédrale occupe un des côtés de la plaza Mayor ; elle domine de toute la hauteur de ses tours le palais présidentiel, parallélogramme écrasé qui renferme à lui seul les sept ministères, - une prison, un jardin botanique, une caserne, les deux chambres. L'Ayuntamiento (municipalité) forme avec le palais un angle droit que continuent le portail de Las Flores et le Parian, vastes capharnaüms commerciaux..."

" La lutte inégale qui depuis plus d'une année se continue entre le Mexique et les États-Unis peut être envisagée sous deux faces distinctes, selon que l'attention se porte sur les conséquences et l'issue probable de la guerre, ou sur les épisodes, les tableaux étranges qu'elle déroule à nos yeux. Quand on a pu observer de près les deux nations belligérantes, quand on a vécu en quelque sorte dans leur intimité, il est difficile de ne pas tenir compte de ce double aspect des évènements : d'un côté, l'impression produite par le simple récit des faits se complète et se fortifie par les souvenirs ; de l'autre, le rôle de plus en plus considérable que les États-Unis sont appelés à jouer dans les destinées du Nouveau-Monde ouvre à l'esprit une vaste perspective. On se transporte en idée au milieu des deux armées, on les voit en présence, l'une rachetant par une énergie à toute épreuve le désavantage d'une organisation vicieuse, l'autre décimée par les discordes civiles et livrée au plus affreux dénuement, fléau du pays en temps de paix, appui insuffisant en temps de guerre. Ce contraste même, qui d'avance indique l'issue de la lutte, ramène la pensée sur les intérêts de l'Europe, plus engagés qu'on ne parait le croire dans les questions débattues entre les deux armées..."

" La guerre de l'indépendance avait formé au Mexique une population aujourd'hui bien éclaircie, bien isolée, par ses m¿urs comme par ses souvenirs, de la société dont autrefois elle défendit si vaillamment la cause. Des guerrilleros, des aventuriers de toute sorte composaient cette population exceptionnelle. Heureux le voyageur qui rencontre encore sur sa route quelques-uns de ces enfants perdus de la révolution mexicaine ! Leurs confidences éclairent pour lui d'un nouveau jour une des époques sans contredit les plus curieuses de l'histoire contemporaine de la Nouvelle-Espagne. Toutes les fois du moins que j'ai pu questionner ces vétérans des grandes luttes de 1810, j'ai recueilli des révélations, j'ai entendu des récits dont la trace ne s'est point effacée de ma mémoire. Parmi ces vieux soldats de l'indépendance, il en est un surtout en qui tous les instincts aventureux, toutes les sauvages passions de l'armée insurrectionnelle du Mexique semblaient avoir trouvé leur personnification. Sa vie me fut racontée sur le théâtre même des campagnes de 1810 et 1811, et les aventures qui me mirent en relation avec le capitaine Ruperto Castaños étaient vraiment un digne prélude à ces récits. Aussi ne séparerai-je pas des romanesques souvenirs du routier les incidents, les scènes de voyage au milieu desquels se déroula devant moi cette étrange existence..."

"... Par une singularité digne de remarque, ces deux points extrêmes du même continent, New-York et San-Francisco, semblent rapprochés par l'identité des conditions géographiques. La première de ces villes, à l'est et sur l'Atlantique, regarde l'Europe ; la seconde, à l'ouest, sur l'Océan Pacifique, est en face de l'Asie. Les fondateurs de New-York, comme ceux de San-Francisco, durent être frappés par l'aspect d'une immense baie, abritée contre les vents du large par une ceinture de collines verdoyantes, et au fond de laquelle venaient se déverser deux larges fleuves. Des deux côtés, d'ailleurs, on retrouve les mêmes avantages naturels. Le Rio-San-Joaquin et le Rio-Sacramento sont pour San-Francisco ce que l'Hudson et la Rivière de l'Est sont pour New-York il n'y a que les noms à changer. Aujourd'hui encore la race anglo-saxonne remplace à San-Francisco la race espagnole, comme elle remplaçait à New-York, il y a deux siècles à peu près, les colons hollandais. Ici toutefois il y a un premier contraste à noter. A New-York, la race anglo-saxonne n'a plus qu'à maintenir une prospérité acquise et développée par de longs efforts ; à San-Francisco, elle voit cette prospérité naître et grandir déjà avec une rapidité merveilleuse..."

These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail.
