Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 6
Spick. This photo-essay, one of a 21-volume series, covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II, examining the men and the aircraft they flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 105 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10".
In 1943, with increasingly effective USAAF and RAF bombing raids against Germany taking their toll on the German war effort, the Luftwaffe was forced to direct its scarce resources at the Western Front and to keep its attention there for the next two years.
With over 100 rare photographs, this book shows the fighters that were pulled out of Norway, the Balkans, Russia and Italy, the fighter-bombers and bombers sent to attack British targets, the planes that launched the V-1 bombs, and the first jet and rocket-powered aircraft introduced at the end of the war. From the conventional Bf 109 and Fw 190 to the unusual and unique aircraft introduced into service in the dying days of the war, such as the Ar 234 jet, the Ju 287 bomber and the Me 262 and He 162, the full range of Luftwaffe types is illustrated and analysed in vivid and absorbing detail.
