The modern aircraft carrier is without doubt one of the most
exciting and hazardous operating environments in the field of
warfare. The ‘flattop' is a symbol of global military power without
parallel, and it remains a capability beyond reach of all but the
most well equipped navies. With the detail, precision and accuracy
expected of Harpia Publishing, this latest volume provides a force
report of the various air components and associated vessels fielded
by those select nations that field fixed-wing-capable aircraft
carriers. While the United States maintains a carrier fleet the
size of which is almost incomparable to that of its rivals, the
coverage of this book also extends to the smaller nations that only
possess a single carrier: Brazil, France, Russia and Spain.
Meanwhile, full coverage is given over to the navies that are in
the process of expanding their burgeoning carrier aviation
capabilities, through the introduction of new, indigenously
designed carriers and aircraft, namely the Asia-Pacific rivals
China and India. Within Europe, chapters are devoted to Italy,
currently with two carriers in commission, and the United Kingdom,
which will make a historic return to carrier aviation this year.
Since the scope of this volume extends to navies operating any
carrier that routinely embarks fixed-wing air power, US Navy
amphibious assault ships and US Marine Corps aviation assets are
also included. Drawing upon a cadre of authors who are experts in
their field, Carrier Aviation in the 21st Century continues
Harpia's reputation for providing unprecedented detail and
extensive technical specifications, as well as detailing the
structure of all the air arms and the individual units that
currently embark on board carriers. Illustrations include specially
commissioned artworks and diagrams to help illustrate how carrier
air power remains an essential element of modern warfare.
Barbora Celjská, uhorská, rímsko-nemecká a česká kráľovná, patrí k
najvýznamnejším stredovekým kráľovnám. Napriek tomu zostáva v tieni
svojho slávneho manžela, Žigmunda Luxemburského. Barbora. „Čierna
kráľovná“ alebo „nemecká Messalina“ je známa skôr ako podivná
literárna postava, opradená mýtami a legendami, než ako skutočná
historická osobnosť. Napriek tomu, že bola uhorskou kráľovnou
bezmála pol storočia a poldruha desaťročia ovládala veľkú časť
územia dnešného Slovenska, zostávala až doteraz mimo pozornosti
historikov. Predkladaná kniha je prvou monografiou venovanou tejto
nesporne pozoruhodnej žene – kráľovnej. Čierna kráľovná je svojským
pokračovaním Dvořákovej knihy Rytier a jeho kráľ (Stibor zo
Stiboríc a Žigmund Luxemburský), knihy, ktorá sa dočkala štyroch
vydaní na Slovensku i v zahraničí.
