German Air Force

Germany’s imaginative employment of transport aircraft in World War II produced as many innovations as Germany’s use of tanks. Indeed, like the tank, the transport aircraft was closely associated with the Blitzkrieg concept.

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.
