Italian Medium Tanks in Action КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Italian Medium Tanks in Action (Armour Number 39)ByNicola PignatoPublisher:Squadron Signal Publications2001 48PagesISBN: 0897474260PDF8 MBThe British introduced tanks into combat on 15 September 1916. late in their Somnie Offensive during World War One. The British - soon followed by the French and Germans -deployed tanks in an attempt to break the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front in France and Belgium. The mountainous conditions of the Italian Front, where Italy faced Austria-Hungary between 1915 and 19IX, were not considered ideal for effectively employing the early tanks. The Italian Comando Supremo (High Command) did recognize the potential of these new weapons and acquired a Schneider C.A.1 medium tank from France in 1917. This vehicle was tested on terrain similar to that found on the Italian Front.The Italians planned to purchase a limited number of tanks: however. Italy's defeat at the Battle of Caporetto (24 October-12 November 1917) and the subsequent retreat to northern Italy's Piave River halted tank procurement for the time being. A French Renault FT was deliv­ered to the Regio Est-rvito (RiW\\ Italian Army) in July of 1918. followed immediately by three others from France. An order was placed at that time with Fiat for 1400 license-built FTs for completion by May of 1919. Only 100 Fiat-built FTs were completed when World War One ended, and the remaining order was cancelled.sharingmatrix 85

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
