More than a century ago, two zeppelins were brought down within five minutes of each other over Britain, ending in one of the most bizarre captures in British military history.

In the September issue, Ian Castle recounts the story of L 32 and L 33, lost over Essex during the raid of September 23, 1916. As one airship fell in flames near Billericay, the other limped back towards the coast and settled in a country lane, leaving its crew to decide what to do next.

Ian charts the night from the searchlights over the Isle of Dogs to a chance meeting on a dark Essex road that few of those involved could have ever expected.

With fourteen recorded sieges, Gibraltar is possibly the most besieged location in history after Constantinople and Jerusalem.

In the September issue, John Ash chart how a limestone headland at the mouth of the Mediterranean was turned into one of the world's greatest fortresses, in a special timeline spanning more than five centuries.

Follow the story of Gibraltar from the royal warrant of 1502 that gave The Rock the castle and key it still carries on its flag, through Admiral Rooke's capture of the town in 1704, to the last tunnel driven by the Royal Engineers in 1967.

HMS Dragon served under two flags, survived the Baltic and Atlantic, and took part in the D-Day bombardment.

In the September issue, Phil Loder traces the career of the Danae-class cruiser, beginning with a family connection that reaches back to October 1919, when his great uncle, Sub Lieutenant L Temple Williams, was dangerously wounded aboard Dragon during a German bombardment of Riga.

Follow the warship through royal visits, global cruises, wartime convoy duties and her transfer to the Polish Navy before her dramatic final weeks supporting the Allied invasion of Normandy.

By the end of World War Two, British and Commonwealth forces had defeated their Axis opponents in every theatre in which they fought. The question is: how?

In the September issue, author Brian E Walter examines how the British Army turned early setbacks into a series of victories that stretched from North Africa and Italy to Northwest Europe and the Far East.

Often facing larger and formidable opponents, British and Commonwealth forces developed their own way of fighting, one that allowed them to punch five – or even ten – times above their weight.

“Everything in the ship went as quiet as a church.”

In the August issue, John Ash examines the story of HMS Queen Mary, the powerful battlecruiser whose short wartime career ended in catastrophe at the Battle of Jutland.

One of the fastest capital ships afloat when she entered service, Queen Mary carried eight 13.5in guns and was built to combine speed with formidable firepower. But on May 31, 1916, a series of devastating hits sent her to the bottom of the North Sea, with just 20 of her 1,285-strong crew surviving.

The National Serviceman who mapped a war.

In the August issue, Phil Loder speaks to Steve Hurst about his National Service experience in Malaya, where he worked in the intelligence Map Room at Bluff Road during the Malayan Emergency.

Drawing on the diaries he kept at the time, Hurst recalls his arrival in Malaya, life at the heart of British intelligence and his attempts to experience the conflict beyond his desk – before, decades later, meeting both High Commissioner Sir Gerald Templer and communist leader Chin Peng.
