The Boat that Won the War An Illustrated History of the Higgins LCVP The Boat that Won the War An Illustrated History of the Higgins LCVP is a book written by historian and author, Richard V. Simpson. This book tells the story of how the Higgins LCVP boat helped win World War II. It's a fascinating tale of innovation, courage, and sacrifice that highlights the importance of understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on human history. From the early days of World War II, the Allies were at a significant disadvantage when it came to amphibious landings. Their ships were vulnerable to German U-boats and other naval threats, making it difficult to successfully invade enemy territory. However, the development of the Higgins LCVP changed everything. This small wooden boat was designed to carry soldiers from ship to shore quickly and efficiently, allowing for more successful invasions and ultimately helping the Allies win the war. The book begins with an introduction to the Higgins family and their boat-building company, which had been in operation since the late 19th century. The author describes how the company's experience in building pleasure boats and fishing vessels prepared them well for the challenges of designing and constructing military vessels.
The Boat that Won the War An Illustrated History of the Higgins LCVP The Boat That Won the War An Illustrated History of the Higgins LCVP - книга, написанная историком и автором Ричардом В. Симпсоном. Эта книга рассказывает историю о том, как лодка Хиггинса LCVP помогла выиграть Вторую мировую войну. Это увлекательная история инноваций, мужества и жертв, которая подчеркивает важность понимания эволюции технологий и их влияния на историю человечества. С первых дней Второй мировой войны союзники находились в существенном невыгодном положении, когда речь шла о высадке морского десанта. Их корабли были уязвимы для немецких подводных лодок и других морских угроз, что затрудняло успешное вторжение на территорию противника. Однако разработка LCVP Хиггинса всё изменила. Эта небольшая деревянная лодка была разработана для быстрой и эффективной перевозки солдат с корабля на берег, что позволяло проводить более успешные вторжения и в конечном итоге помогало союзникам выиграть войну. Книга начинается с введения в семью Хиггинсов и их компанию по строительству лодок, которая работала с конца XIX века. Автор описывает, как опыт компании в строительстве прогулочных судов и рыболовецких судов хорошо подготовил их к вызовам проектирования и строительства военных судов.

戦争に勝利したボート戦争に勝利したボート戦争に勝利したボートLCVPは歴史家で作家のリチャード・W・シンプソンが書いた本です。この本は、ヒギンズのLCVPボートが第二次世界大戦の勝利にどのように貢献したかを物語っています。技術の進化と人類の歴史への影響を理解することの重要性を強調する、革新、勇気、犠牲の魅力的な物語です。第二次世界大戦の初期から、連合国は水陸両用の上陸に際して不利な立場にあった。彼らの船はドイツのUボートやその他の海上脅威に対して脆弱であり、敵地への侵攻に成功することは困難であった。しかし、LCVP Higginsの開発はすべてを変えました。この小さな木製のボートは、兵士を迅速かつ効率的に船から岸に輸送するために設計され、より成功した侵略を可能にし、最終的に連合国が戦争に勝つのを助ける。この本は、19世紀後半から運営されているヒギンズ家とそのボートビルディング会社の紹介から始まります。著者は、プレジャークラフトと漁船を建造した同社の経験が、軍艦の設計と建造の課題にうまく備える方法を説明しています。
