This book opens with the Contents, Acknowledgements and Authors' Special Note, followed by a Foreword to the Original Edition by Robert Stanford-Tuck, RAF Retd, Eastry, Kent, 7th December 1965, and a Foreword to the New Edition by Air Vice-Marshal J.E. 'Johnnie' Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO**, DFC**, July 1994.

A synopsis of the book on the dust jacket states: \"The original 'Aces High' was published in 1966, quickly went out of print, and duly became a collector's item. It was an authoritative work but the authors always intended to update and amend it in time. Now, after nearly 30 years this new edition contains the fruits of the vast amount of further research on the pilots, units and campaigns of the Second World War undertaken by Christopher Shores and Clive Williams since then. Drawing on official records, personal log books and diaries, and information gleaned from a host of interviews, this book deals now not just with the fighter \"ace\" as traditionally understood, but with virtually all the notable exponents of the art of aerial combat. Some had brief, meteoric careers whilst others served for long periods, often in a variety of units and areas. Some were highly decorated, others were gone before they had received any formal recognition. Here are the great leaders and the great individualists, the career men from Cranwell and the short service volunteers. Here too are the Free Europeans, who escaped when their own countries were occupied, to fight on with the RAF. A few indeed were to claim victories with two, three of even four different forces! Included too - and in great profusion - are the men from the Dominions of what was then both Commonwealth and Empire. Details are given of those, predominantly Canadians, who went to gain further success in later wars over Israel and Korea, together with those who rallied to the Allied cause before their own countries were at war; notably these were US citizens, but others came even from Iceland. The passage of time has meant that in many cases a synopsis can be provided of the whole career of many of those included, not a few of whom achieved much in the postwar years that followed. Nearly 1200 brief biographies cover pilots from all parts of the UK, and some 16 other nations. As in the first edition, details of the squadron, the aircraft, and ancillary listings are also provided, but the combat claims have been almost completely re-researched, revised, re-written and re-formatted for clarity. A tremendous selection of photographs from hitherto private collections makes this the essential reference book for any historian of the Second World War.\" The book contains 672 pages, weighing 1.5 kilograms, printed in black ink, on a white paper stock, with sixty-four pages of black and white plates inserted in groups of sixteen in four locations, between pages 156-157, 284-285, 412-413, 540-541, printed in black ink on a coated white paper stock, measuring 180 mm (w) x 253 mm (h) x 57 mm (d).

After serving in the RAF in the 1950s, Christopher Shores became a Chartered Surveyor, a profession in which he gained some thirty-five years experience. He later became a Director in one of the largest firms of property advisors in Europe, travelling widely, blessed with good writing and speaking skills. After his involvement in the original 'Aces High', Clive Williams turned to the Open University, working for and obtaining an Honours Degree in History. A purchasing officer by profession, he became for many years Chief Purchasing Officer to Berni Inns. He later took a partial retirement, in order to concentrate on publishing and historical research, rejoining his co-author, Shores, to produce this updated edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference Guide Shipping Policy: An additional shipping charge may be applicable following the time of purchase due to size, weight, and quantity.

In the Ayrshire of Robert Burns, one day towards the end of the eighteenth century, a few local farmers visited the Earl of Cassillis. They said that if he would take command of them, they would form a troop of horse for the defence of the district, \"free of all expense to government.\" That was the beginning. In the intervening years the Yeomen have served as cavalry, mounted infantry, infantry, gunners, and tank and reconnaissance troops. Having acted as riot police in the turbulent Radical days, they fought through three wars, in South Africa, in Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine, Flanders, Tunisia, Italy, Normandy, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

Harris, first published in the United Kingdom in 1989 by The Nutshell Publishing Co. Ltd. of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, printed in Great Britain by Courier International Ltd. of Tiptree, Essex, ISBN 1-871876-00-1. The dust jacket sums up the history of the regiments, as well as giving a brief analysis and direction of the book: \"On 12 June 1922 H.M. King George V, at a sad and solemn ceremony at Windsor Castle, received the Colours of five Southern Irish Infantry Regiments which were disbanded that day, and made the following promise: 'I pledge my word that within these ancient and historic walls your Colours will be treasured, honoured, and protected as hallowed memorials of the glorious deeds of brave and loyal regiments.' (The South Irish Horse, possessing no Colour or Standards, presented a regimental engraving on the same occasion). It took another fifty years however for these regiments ro completely disappear. It was an Ulsterman, Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templer, who took the salute at a Whitehall parade in June 1972, the 50th Anniversary of disbandment when as one soldier explained 'We thought we would call it a day while we were still hale and hearty.' The Irish Cavalry fared marginally better by reduction to squadron strength and amalgamation with English regiments, whilst several English Cavalry Regiments shared the same fate at the same time. The Irish exception, to retain its single identity for another thirty years or so, was the 8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars. The loss of these regiments was felt throughout the British Army, especially when one considers that for nearly 300 years a large proportion of its men were Irish, possibly as many as one-third. A statistic from World War I tells us that half-a-million Irishmen served in the British Army, representing about an eighth of the population of Ireland. Furthermore, about one-third of Britain's Field Marshals have come from Ireland, and of the ten Field Marshals of World War II, one-half had Irish origins. Fortunately the British Army that served this country so well during World War II had some fine Northern Irish Regiments remaining - as it has today although, once again after a war, more reductions and amalgamations took place. Irish Regimental historians have compiled several individual histories, in some instances substantial two-and-three-volume works - but one may have difficulty in finding these books today. It does seem strange however that as far as is known, the collective story of all the Irish Regiments, past and present, has not been forthcoming. This book will now fill this gap and, together with the numerous fine illustrations will show the Irish soldier in the British Army of the past 300 years, during peace and at war, at home and abroad.\" The book begins with a Table of Contents, followed by a Foreword by General Sir Brian Kenny KCB CBE - Commander-in-Chief of the British Army of the Rhine, an Author's Note and Acknowledgements. It is divided into four parts: Part 1 - Early and Disbanded Regiments (Cavalry and Fencibles, Infantry, Yeomanry, Volunteers, Royal Irish Artillery); Part 2 - The Regular Regiments - Cavalry (4th (Irish Irish) Dragoons Guards 47th-7th RDG, 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers 16th\/5th QRL, 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons 5th RIDG, 8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars QRIH) and The Regular Regiments - Infantry (Irish Guards, The Royal Irish Regiment, The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, The Royal Irish Rifles, Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers), The Royal Irish Rangers, The Connaught Rangers, The Princess of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), The Royal Munster Fusiliers, The Royal Dublin Fusiliers); Part 3 - Yeomanry, Special Reserve and Territorial Force (The Imperial Yeomanry, North Irish Horse, South Irish Horse, London Irish, Tyneside Irish, Liverpool Irish, Ulster Defence Regiment); Part 4 - Royal Artillery - The Militia and Volunteer and Support Units (Royal Artillery and Militia Artillery, The Irish Militia Regiments, Volunteer Support Units).

A brief synopsis of the book's contents appears on the back cover: \"Historians have always been intrigued by Riflemen and the special weapons that they carried. This fascination even extends to the general public, as can be seen by the popularity of such books and television shows as \"Sharpe's Rifles\". Unfortunately, until now there has been little solid information available about the rifles themselves and which units carried them into battle. In this exciting new book, respected author De Witt Bailey will answer all of these questions and more! Starting with the Seven Years War, he tells the whole story right through the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Age and to the end of the flintlock era. Each rifle is illustrated (exactly where it is discussed in the text) in truly exceptional photographs, 320 in all, with the important details shown in large, clear close-ups. The types of rifles covered are too many to list, but include such famous weapons as the Ferguson, the Pattern 1776 and the rifles used by German mercenaries and royalists in the American Revolution. Naturally, a large portion of the book is dedicated to the most famous British flintlock rifle of them all - the Baker. No matter whether you are interested in military history, marksmanship in the British Army, accoutrements and ammunition, or flintlock rifles themselves, this book will be sure to thrill you. Even such unexpected topics as the rifles given as gifts to American Indians in British service are carefully explained and illustrated. And it is all documented by decades of archival research and the inspection of countless surviving rifles throughout the English-speaking world. Whether you are a military historian eager to learn about the exciting story of Riflemen in the British service, or an antique firearms enthusiast who needs help identifying a rifle in his collection, this book will quickly become one of your most trusted references.\" The book begins with a Table of Contents and an Introduction.
