Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 5
Softbound Book

Payne. This photo-essay, one of a 21-volume series, covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II, examining the men and the aircraft they flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 105 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10".

The Bf 109 was the dominant fighter of early WWII and a revolutionary aircraft in its time. This superbly illustrated volume traces the Bf 109's story from its origins to triumph over French and British opposition in the conquest of France and its fate over southern England in late 1940. The intervening years are also covered with images of the men and planes of the Legion Condor, fighting in the Spanish Civil War, plus details of the tactical lessons learned from the Polish campaign of 1939, when the Bf 109 went a long way towards making victory quick and complete.

With images drawn largely from private collections and mostly never published in book form before, this volume reveals much on the Bf 109âs early career. The drama of this period of revolution in aviation technology is captured in this original and analytical study.

The Life Story of the World's Highest Scoring Ace
Jager. With
352 aerial victories and ten years in a Soviet prison, Erich Hartmann survived uprisings, hunger strikes, and forced labor. His will to do his duty was remarkable - after being released, he was still mentally and physically fit enough to fly F-86 jet fighters in the post-World War II German Air Force. This photo album presents the different stages of his life - a man who wished to become a doctor, but whose fate it was to become and remain a soldier.
