Osprey Publishing has announced a new series dedicated to evaluating opposing sides in the ultimate operational environment—close combat.
'Duel' is the name of a new series from the military history publishing house, Osprey Publishing. The new series retells the stories of the world’s greatest machines of war and the ace combatants who operated them.

Each title will follow the design and development of the opposing weapon systems in wartime, with accessible analysis of the technological and tactical innovations that led to victory or defeat.

An array of technical drawings, photographs and full-color digital illustrations, including "gun sight views," depict the key aspects of these machines in wartime.

One of the fundamental objectives of this new series is to explain the technical detail and developmental history of each weapon and combine it with the personal histories of the warriors who used them. The technical details and first-hand accounts will then be placed within the specific historic context
To bring to life in one series the three different components of modern warfare: Air Duel, Sea Duel and Land Duel.

To date, Osprey Publishing has commissioned 16 titles for the Duel series. They are: (Armor titles are in bold)
