Snapdragon: The World War II Exploits of Darby's Ranger and Combat Photographer Phil Stern Prior to Phil Stern's death on December 13, 2014, his original, unfinished, tattered wartime memoir was discovered, stashed away in an old folio box in his cluttered Hollywood bungalow. Best remembered for his iconic images of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK's inauguration, his remarkable service during World War II as a combat photographer with Darby's Rangers has remained largely unknown. Until now. Stern's catchy 1940s lingo, honest and intimate observations, and humor, paired with his striking combat photography, transport the reader 70 years back in time to meet the hardscrabble Rangers and experience some of the key battles of the Mediterranean Theater. An artifact of that time, told not by a man reminiscing in his twilight years, but by a young soldier fresh from the battlefields. 320 pages. $30.00 USD

Schnellboot: Type S-38 and S-100 The E-boats (a British designation using the letter E for Enemy) were defined by many naval experts as the best carrying out of their category. Initially, these units were called Unterseebot Zerstorer (Hunting Submarine) and Anti-Submmarine Motorboats or Armored Motorboats, as they had an important anti-submarine mission. Later, the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) adopted the designation of Luftschiffmotorenboot (boat with an airship engine) or L-Boote and, therefore, from November 1917, the units became LM-Boote, with the same meaning, but their use, especially in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, was not particularly successful. S38b and S100 E-boats class were German fast attack craft (Schnellboot in German) built for the Kriegsmarine during WWII. Includes Super Drawings in 3D series, with 152 illustrations. $37.00 USD
