Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This illustrated series presents every aspect of the German Air Force in World War II, on all fronts and in widely varying conditions. Contemporary photographs from archives and private collections, many never before published, show how and where all types of German military aircraft operated, and are accompanied by detailed captions written by experts in aviation history. For the very first year of the war the Luftwaffe proved itself a superb and deadly tactical air force, helping the Wehrmacht and its Panzers move from Poland through the Low Countries into France. Its pilots, led by Spanish Civil War veterans who had revolutionized air combat, were far more experienced than the Allies. Rare photos taken by Luftwaffe pilots and crew, as well as by press photographers, show what aircraft were used, what equipment they carried, and who flew and maintained them during this dramatic period of the war.

Rated by buyers -
This small book (just 72 pages) consists basically of a collection of (good) pictures, with its respective legends, most of them unpublished until now (at least in the books I got). The stile is similar to "Aircraft of The Luftwaffe Fighter Aces", from Bernd Barbas's. Noteworthy is the initial section, with 11 (eleven) WWII original colour pictures, most from the famous Jeff Ethell's private collection. A small introduction summarizes the facts from the birth of Luftwaffe to the end of 1942 (the remaining story is told in the volume 6, " Defeat in the West, 1943-1945, from Mike Spick). The pictures, most in close-ups, are an excellent reference for modelers. As this book is part of a collection, which covers the Luftwaffe action over all fronts, I recommend the purchase of all of them.
