German Air Force Bombers of World War Two

Here is the ultimate synchronisation of details and events which signalled the last six months of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. It involved over 100 countries, it killed 50 million people and absorbed six years of struggle and bloodshed for the peoples of half the globe.

This publication includes two previously published titles - "Fighters of the Luftwaffe" (1993) and "Bombers of the Luftwaffe" (1994). The Luftwaffe Album provides impressive photographic coverage of over 35 fighter aircraft and more than 50 bombers. They are illustrated by over 600 photographs taken from rare archives. For the historian, enthusiast or modeller, this unprecedented pictorial guide to German aviation in World War Two is outstanding value. The illustrations are selected in order to show the full aircraft, in each important variant but then in close detail also. This enables features of weaponry, cockpit, markings, engines and other design elements to be shown, including machines during construction, in prototype and in action.

The twenty-seven stories in this book serve as a graphic reminder of the selfless heroism of America's World War II Army Air Forces flyers and how necessary they were to achieve Allied victory. Wolfgang Samuel and the pilots he interviewed reveal the peril these men faced to achieve a daunting task, impossible without their bravery.
