Description
These two lavish volumes on Planes of the Luftwaffe Fighter Aces will undoubtedly come to be regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive reference works ever published on this fascinating subject. Consisting of a remarkable collection of approximately 400 rare and mostly unpublished photographs in each volume plus many superb colour paintings and line drawings, they present a vast amount of highly prized information which, hitherto, has been unsuccessfully sought by the world’s modellers and air historians.
This monumental work is the result of interviewing surviving German fighter pilots and ground – crew over a long period, thus gaining access to many unpublished private photographic collections. By virtue of this entirely original research, it has now been possible to provide an unequalled coverage of the aircraft of many famous
German fighter pilots and even more who were less publicized. It is an astonishing collection of material in its own right and is sure to be enjoyed by all with even the slightest interest in aviation. This, the first of two volumes, includes almost 450 photographs in black and white and colour, six superb double-page colour paintings and 23 line drawings.
