Obojživelné automobily: historie, technika, rozdělení, úpravy, Ivan Mackerle
Amphibious cars: history, technology, classification, modifications, Ivan Mackerle

The automobile has always belonged on the road. From the very beginning, when it came into practical use, there were also daredevils who, after modifications, tried to conquer water on their own. The publication is a guide with illustrations, but also an encyclopedia of amphibious vehicles. It maps the area of military, off-road and passenger vehicles capable of overcoming watercourses under their own power. This part of automotive history and the present has not yet been processed on the domestic book market. The content explains the theoretical foundations of vehicle movement in water, through the history of the emergence of amphibians to the technical parameters of military, off-road and passenger amphibious vehicles from the pre-war period to the present. The authors also recall remarkable amateur creations and expeditions. Recommended reading for adventurous natures, but perhaps also a non-standard topic for planning a vacation for next year.

Motocykly ve Velké válce 1914 – 1918, Miloslav Straka
Motorcycles in the Great War 1914 – 1918, Miloslav Straka

Another in a series of works by the renowned author deals with motorcycle history again, this time against the backdrop of World War I. It is published at a time when a hundred years have passed since its course, and the consequences of which fatally influenced the further development of all sectors in Europe. The book is not a historical study of the war, but has the ambition to present the role of motorcycles and the soldiers who served with them in the war. Motorcycles in the Great War performed a number of specific tasks. In addition to the very important courier service, they also served in ambulance and reconnaissance services. Armies used motorcycles on almost all battlefields, but the largest number was on the Western Front on the side of the Allies. The book introduces readers to individual variants of military machines, technical details, a detailed description of the most used models and the history of the brands represented. The publication brings a lot of interesting information not only to our regular fans of motorcycle history, but should also appeal to fans of military history and militaries in general.

Auta východního bloku, Jan Tuček
Cars of the Eastern Bloc, Jan Tuček

Škoda, Tatra, Trabant, Wartburg, Polski Fiat, Dacia, Oltcit, Moskvich, Lada, Volga and other brands were an integral part of the pre-November era. Sometimes we turned our noses up at them and longed for something better. However, most of us had no choice. Today we can laugh about it, but we should not forget. Not only about that time, but also about the cars we drove back then.
