From the wars of antiquity to the recent events in South West Asia, landing craft and amphibians have been an ever-present sea borne and battle space asset in one form or another for the commander wanting to get boots on the ground. Refined during the Second World War with the introduction of the Amphibian, and again with the perfection of the hovercraft, the landing craft’s finest hour in popular consciousness occurred on 6 June 1944. This LandCraft title focuses on Landing Craft and Amphibian development during the Second World War as versatile sea borne assets. The book also looks at the post-war evolution of the Landing Craft and Amphibians, and how the simple concepts of their design remain alive and in use almost a century later. This LandCraft title offers the modeler an exciting range of subjects, era and theater choices, especially those modeling the Second World War.

At 17, Thomas Howard, an Irish kid from the streets of San Francisco's Mission District joined the United States Navy at the height of World War Two. He went through the rigors of Navy Boot Camp, trained on Diesel engines, and was assigned to the engine room of one of the Navy's newest vessels, the LSM (Landing Ship Medium.) This is his story and the story of the thousands of young men who went to war in 1944. Prepared to land on hostile beaches and deliver Marines in the face of the enemy, these Sailors took pride in being known as Fighting Amphibians.' Using original deck logs and archive documents, this is the story of LSM 250 and the men who made her an effective fighting ship.

Da amerikanske hær trådte ind i krigen var det blandt andet med dens enorme landgangsoperationer. Bogen fortæller om amfibie-begrebets historie, om de mænd der udviklede fartøjet, og om arbejdet for de mænd der skulle bruge det i praksis: amfibie-ingeniørerne. Der fortælles om strabadserne på steder som Sicilien, Normandiet, Okinawa og på andre lokaliteter i Stillehavsområdet.

Includes over 110 maps, charts and illustrations. His nickname was “Terrible Turner.” He was, according to one ensign who served with him prior to World War II, “the meanest man I ever saw, and the most competent naval officer I ever served with.” He led the successful amphibious attacks on Guadalcanal, Makin, Kwajalein, Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Guam. He was Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner, one of the key figures in America’s defeat of Japan. In this fascinating and comprehensive biography, Vice Admiral George C. Dyer documents the tough and fearless leadership of Admiral Turner, his astonishing success in meeting some of the toughest challenges in the history of amphibious warfare, and detailed descriptions of the ships and men who fought under him. More than just a biography, The Amphibians Came to Conquer is a carefully documented history, both strategic and tactical, of the major campaigns in the Pacific from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, providing a wealth of information on how Terrible Turner and the men he commanded conquered island after island against a tough and determined foe. In an astonishing tribute to the tenacity of Turner and his men, a February 21, 1945 Japanese broadcast said: “The true nature of an alligator is that once he bites into something, he will not let go. Turner’s nature is also like this.” This remarkable book belongs in the library of any serious student of the war in the Pacific.
