In 1943, with increasingly effective USAAF and RAF bombing raids against Germany taking their toll on the German war effort, the Luftwaffe was forced to direct its scarce resources at the Western Front and to keep its attention there for the next two years. With over 100 rare photographs, this book shows the fighters that were pulled out of Norway, the Balkans, Russia and Italy, the fighter-bombers and bombers sent to attack British targets, the planes that launched the V-1 bombs, and the first jet and rocket-powered aircraft introduced at the end of the war. From the conventional Bf 109 and Fw 190 to the unusual and unique aircraft introduced into service in the dying days of the war, such as the Ar 234 jet, the Ju 287 bomber and the Me 262 and He 162, the full range of Luftwaffe types is illustrated and analyzed in vivid and absorbing detail. #0040112 Price: $14.95

	Airwar Over the Atlantic Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 21 Softbound Book Griehl. 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 110 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10". Late in 1938, the German Navy Supreme Command commissioned a report into the combat effectiveness of its airborne divisions. As a result of its findings, the German High Command instigated a major construction program for planes with a specifically maritime role; carrier-borne, reconnaissance, mine laying and most importantly, long range units were all developed. This volume showcases a photo-history of the development of the Kriegsmarine airborne capability, from the early Condor missions, to the introduction of Me 262 A-1a jet fighters in 1944. These previously unpublished pictures illustrate the gradual turning of the tide against Germany in the war for the skies over the Atlantic - as the German war machine struggled to match demand for aircraft, so the pilots attempting to control crucial supply routes struggled to compete with mounting allied technical and numerical superiority. #0040110 Price: $14.95
	German Jets Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 10 Softbound Book 1944-1945. Griehl. 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 102 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10". As the course of the war turned against the Third Reich, the sudden appearance of jet-propelled aircraft marked the advent of Germany's last hope in the bitter struggle for the control of the skies. Yet, despite some early success, and initial Allied shock, most German jets were destined for a short but violent life in the face of Allied air superiority, or remained prototypes and the Führer's pipe dream. This volume portrays the rise of the jet fighters and fighter-bombers and vividly captures the wartime career of Germany's wonder weapons. With more than one hundred rare images, this comprehensive study examines the jets' appearance and markings and the pilots who flew and tested the aircraft. Such celebrated aircraft as the Me 262 and Ar 234 sit side by side with lesser known types including the He 162, Ho 229 V5 and H IX and serve as testament to Germany's technological ingenuity in the face of bombing, shortages and defeat. #0019111 Price: $14.95
