I-400 Japan's Secret Aircraft-Carrying Strike Submarine
Hikoki | May 2006 | ISBN: 1902109457 | 144 pages | PDF | English | 77.8 MB
The I-400 "super submarine" was one of the most monstrous creations to emerge from the Second World War and in its time it was the largest submarine ever built. It was considered to have been one of Japan's most secret weapons -- indeed the Allies remained unaware of its existence until it surrendered in late August 1945. At more than 400 ft long, weighing 5,700 tons, carrying a crew of 200 and possessing a range of over 50,000 miles, the I-400 carried three Seiran attack floatplanes in a hangar built on to its deck ahead of the massive conning tower. The Imperial Japanese Navy tasked the I-400 with a secret mission to attack American cities and to destroy the Panama Canal. This book is the result of many years of meticulous research. The authors have traced and interviewed three of the original six pilots slated to fly the Seirans on their hazardous missions. They have revealed -- for the first time -- the story their aircraft being painted in fake US markings for their final mission.The book contains hundreds of astonishing photographs, many previously unpublished, showing the I-400 from both outside and inside as well as its hangars and aircraft.

DROZ (Bernard), La décolonisation,
Documentation photographique, N° 8062 | ISSN: 04195361 | 2008 | PDF | 200 dpi | 65 pages | 61 MB
Épisode majeur de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, la décolonisation met un terme à l'ancien ordre mondial dominé par les Européens et leurs empires. "La", ou plutôt, "les" décolonisations, car elles prirent divers chemins, parfois pacifiques, souvent violents. Le mouvement démarre au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale lorsque les nationalismes indigènes, gagnés à la cause indépendantiste, rejettent toute sujétion coloniale. Une indépendance en amenant une autre, la décolonisation s'opère par vagues : d'abord en Asie dans les années 1950, puis au Maghreb et en Afrique noire dans les années 1960, avant de s'achever, ou presque, au terme d'un cycle trentenaire, en Afrique australe.
