A very good image bank of the German Nightfighters.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This small book (just 72 pages, 10 x 7,5 inches) consists basically of a collection of (very good) pictures, with its respective legends, most of them unpublished until now (at least in the books I got). The publication stile is similar to "Aircraft of The Luftwaffe Fighter Aces", from Bernd Barbas's, made only with pictures and practically without technical text. All the books of the "Luftwaffe at War" series have this same size format. Noteworthy is the initial section, with 10 (ten) excellent WWII original color pictures (the pictures are without credits but I guess they are from the author and most from the famous Jeff Ethell's private collection), including the Me 262 V-056 and a Ju 88. A small four pages introduction summarizes the creation and operation of Luftwaffe nightfighting. The pictures, most in close-ups, are an excellent reference for modelers. As this book is part of a collection, which covers the Luftwaffe action over all fronts, I recommend the purchase of all of them. (Note: Although all these qualities, I ranked this book only 4 stars because it is edited based only in photographs, without any other technical information. As just an image bank, it could be, perhaps, a five star one).
