In Defense of the Reich with the Bf 109, Fw 190 and Ta 152
Reschke. Established in 1943 with an unusual combination of Luftwaffe bomber and fighter pilots, these units intercepted enemy bombers both at night and during the day. The night missions required significant instrument flying, thus making the bomber pilots preferable; while the daylight raids required the agility of a fighter pilot. This history chronicles the challenges faced in this unique "crossover" group. 288 pages, 120+ B&W photographs, 6"x 9", hardcover. #0021036
