Jago… there is a curse upon all who bear that name. In a small Cornish village, all who know that name know it has a hoodoo upon it. Cursed by a drowning man’s words, any Jago who dares set sail on the seas off the Cornish coast, is doomed to die as he did — […]
Leutnant Matthias Schenk is a fanatic — exactly the kind of Nazi the Luftwaffe need behind their experimental night fighters and radar technology. But as the raids from Denmark progress, a bitter rivalry with fellow pilot, Bruno Neumann, plays on his mind. Old ‘Bullseye Bruno’ never seems to hit the mark, no matter how perfect […]
The British were the first nation to produce the hulking metal monoliths called tanks. And this one was a beast!
