Summary/Abstract |
The Italian Regia Aeronautica was, in 1940, one of most powerful air forces in the world. Yet even when compared to the mixed records of other wartime air forces, it failed to significantly further Italy's war aims. In technology, training, tactics and strategy, the Regia Aeronautica failed to match the progress of the Luftwaffe or RAF, through misjudged dispositions and diffuse objectives. This article charts the squandering of a potentially important Axis asset.

Summary/Abstract |
The siege of Tobruk in 1941, until its relief by the 8th Army in December 1941, involved an extensive British supply effort by sea. Despite the Axis powers' best efforts, the supplies were not halted. While the British service arms worked in close co-operation, German and Italian efforts were characterised by unco-ordinated inter-service and inter-command action.

Summary/Abstract |
The emergence of trench warfare on the Western Front proved to be fertile ground for the development of the mortar. Yet for all their worth, trench mortars struggled to compete with more traditional forms of artillery in the British Army, their crews often working other duties, and full integration with infantry units was lacking even as late as 1918.
