Product Description:German aircraft of World War II continue to be of great interest in Europe and North America because they were some of the most successful and unusual warplanes of the twentieth century. Many illustrated books cover the major types of Luftwaffe aircraft, but this one is very different. First, most of its photos have never been published before. They include secret shots of captured and deserting aircraft, aerial reconnaissance photos, photos obtained by Allied agents in occupied Europe, and captured German photos. Second, the background information includes a brief history of how the plane actually performed in combat, illustrated with anecdotes about thrilling missions. Third, the text is drawn from declassified British intelligence files, thick dossiers that were gleaned from MI6, OSS, and SOE agents in the field, from RAF and USAAF air crew combat reports, from POW interrogations, and from coded German message interceptions. The book?s extensive introduction also offers a history of Allied air intelligence, which grew from a handful of staff members to an efficient information-gathering machine that often knew many details of enemy aircraft before they had even become operational. Luftwaffe, then, is for the serious, discriminating student of aviation history and air combat in World War II.
