A detailed study of the attractive Arado Ar 196, one of the last fighting seaplanes. It was the standard seagoing aircraft for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II, providing the Luftwaffe with reach into the southern oceans. Beating its biplane rivals in a 1936 Reich Air Ministry design competition, the Arado Ar 196 provided the Kriegsmarine with possibly the best shipborne reconnaissance seaplane of World War II. Replacing the Heinkel He 60 biplane as the standard catapult-launched floatplane embarked on the Kriegsmarine's capital ships, the Ar 196 flew an assortment of combat missions during World War II, including coastal patrol, submarine hunting, light bombing, general reconnaissance, and convoy escort sorties. The first vessel to take its Ar 196A-1s to sea was the pocket battleship Graf Spee, which embarked two in the autumn of 1939. The battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz could carry six Arados each, the battlecruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst four, and smaller pocket battleships and cruisers two. Shore-based aircraft were also operated from coastal ports on the Channel, Baltic, North Sea, and Bay of Biscay coasts, as well as in the Balkans and Mediterranean. In this title, supported by an excellent selection of photographs and full-color illustrations, Peter de Jong explores the history of the Arado Ar 196, detailing their development and assessing the combat capabilities of one of the last fighting seaplanes.

"Je crois à l'évolution, à la recherche scientifique et au réchauffement de la planète ; je crois en la liberté d'expression, politiquement correcte et incorrecte, et je ne suis pas partisan d'utiliser le gouvernement pour imposer des convictions religieuses, quelles qu'elles soient - y compris les miennes -, aux non-croyants. En outre, je suis prisonnier de ma propre histoire : je ne peux m'empêcher de voir l'expérience américaine à travers le prisme d'un Noir à l'héritage métissé, gardant sans cesse à l'esprit que des générations d'hommes et de femmes qui me ressemblent ont été asservis et stigmatisés, toujours conscient des manières subtiles et moins subtiles dont l'appartenance à une race et à une classe sociale continue à modeler nos vies." Sur quel idéal s'est bâtie l'élection de Barack Obama ? De quel état d'esprit ce Président aux cultures et aux identités multiples est-il le reflet ? La défense de quelles valeurs l'a-t-elle hissé au poste suprême ? Avec cette profession de foi politique largement teintée d'autobiographie, Obama livre la substance de ce qui a fait, et fera à jamais, les fondements de sa politique : empathie, réconciliation, ambition.
