Intro

Eagle Editions has a long established reputation for producing some excellent quality publications, and this series, the first that I've owned, is no exception. It's no surprise that this volume deals exclusively with Luftwaffe subjects, and has something of interest for everyone. Printed on high quality paper, the 36 page booklet includes numerous black and white photographs, most previously unpublished and unavailable. Individual photo credits are not given per se, but there is a summary of thanks at the end acknowledging the various sources.

For the Luftwaffe fan (and who isn't?), there is much here in the form of eye candy. Some of the photos are of wrecks but this in no way diminishes the value of their inclusion. Me 262s, Bf 109s, Bf 110s, Fw 190s and sundry other subjects are are all here to varying degreess.

Photo Samples

As one can see, the variety is here, and some of the photos are actually quite magnificent.

Color Profiles

The above are but 4 of the total of 8 profiles, all of which are done to a very high standard by the illustrator, James Bentley.

The great photos of aircraft, the informative text, and the color profile drawings all make this a very nice addition to any library. For Luftwaffe fans, this volume is an excellent source of images of aircraft from the WWII time-frame.

I can highly recommend this volume.

Many thanks for my review copy to Judy Crandall from Eagle Editions, seller of fine books, decals and aviation related aftermarket items.
