In the seventeenth century Bristol was the second city of Engl&. It was the main west coast port an internationally important entrepot & rich trading centre. Industry flourished too with manufacturing & processing industries like soap making & gunpowder production responsible for Bristols considerable wealth. In consequence control of the town became one of the chief objectives of both armies during the civil war which raged in England in the 1640s. Beginning the war under Parliamentarian control the city changed hands twice with each transfer having a major effect of the war effort of both sides. This new study argues that when the Royalists captured Bristol in July 1643 they gained not only the city but also the materials & facilities that literally allowed them to remain in the war. Under Royalist rule Bristol became a vital centre for military & government activities as well as a centre for importing arms from Europe & becoming almost the alternative Royalist capital. The loss of Bristol in 1645 was therefore a huge blow to the Royalist cause. This book is surely one of the most important written on the civil wars in recent times. Its radical reinterpretation of the pivotal role of Englands second city will ensure it a place on bookshelves of anyone interested in the most turbulent years of the seventeenth century. ...

Bristol F2 Fighter Aces Of World War I

This is the history of the best Allied fighter-destroyer of World War I and the pilots who flew it. Nicknamed Biff by the pilots the Bristol F2 Fighter enjoyed extraordinary over the Western Front in the final 18 months of the war. However it had an inauspicious debut. Indeed an entire flight of F2As was wiped out by von Richthofens Jasta 11. However a new improved F2B was soon delivered to the front which was functioned in an entirely different manner. The crews operated the plane not as a standard two-seater but as a single-seat with a sting in the tail in the form of a rear gunner with a Lewis machine gun. Numerous ace teams earned the Biff grudging respect from its German opponents. This book will chart the development of the plane from its unpromising beginnings to the revised model
operating with a new kind of tactics. Moreover the numerous first-hand accounts and combat reports will give a fascinating insight into the experiences of the pilots themselves.
