D-Day remembered

Posted by Ed on June 06, 2009

In the early hours on June 6, 1944, the largest airborne and amphibious assault the world has ever seen was set into operation. Over 200,000 allied troops descended upon the northern coast of France and in the face of fierce German resistance pushed inland, as wave upon wave of troops invaded the mine-littered beaches.

Wear Your Favorite Osprey Book!

Posted by Kerry on May 25, 2009

Last weekend I had the honor of going to the Museum Store Association trade show in Phoenix, and while my New York colleagues were stuck in a torrential downpour all week, I was off enjoying a variety of museum display items in sunny, 95-degree Arizona. I was particularly excited to meet the reps from Legacy of Valor, who have licensed loads of Osprey artwork to be printed on t-shirts, long sleeve shirts and hoodies (or jumpers, as I think you call them in the UK).

My favourite new bits in the Membership archive

Posted by Ed on May 19, 2009

Once a month I will be blogging my favourite piece of members area content. Currently I will choose between a battle map or a plane profile but later in the year we will have all the artwork from the New Vanguard series and most of the Men at Arms uniforms available to our members. This month I’ve uploaded 95 new plane profiles and plane unit insignia, along with 20 new battle maps. All this content is taken from our May 2009 publications.

My top ten war films that should be remade

Posted by Mike on May 06, 2009

Hollywood is all about rebooting characters at the minute. Batman got a reboot. Then the reboot got a sequel which became one of the most successful films of all time. Bond has been rebooted - the humour and gadgets are gone and replaced by gritty punchy seat of your pants action. Which went on to spawn another film. Star Trek has been rebooted, even Wolverine has been rebooted in a way.

Osprey visit WRAM

Posted by John on March 13, 2009

On February 20-21 the Osprey New York office, together with our intrepid freelancer, Larry Weindorf, schlepped up to White Plains New York for WRAM, the annual aero modeling swap-meet and contest. Unlike other aviation events where the focus is firmly on vintage WWII aircraft and/or modern military demonstration teams, this show brings out a large number of WWI and golden era enthusiasts.
