Deutsche Luftwaffe cover

This book, a veritable encyclopaedia, is the result of an exceptional job presenting members of the Luftwaffe 1935-1945 for the first time and in full uniform and equipment. Having gathered an impressive collection of original pieces, including service uniforms and flying equipment, the author ensures the experience of these men shines through in this book. Each object is photographed in high quality colour with incredible attention to detail and captions provided for each. With over 150 colour photos, including some published for the first time, the book is divided into four parts. As a bonus, the book ends with a discussion of these men using their gear, including telling the story of a pilot through his awards, documents and personal effects. An essential book for historians of World War II, passionate collectors, librarians and archivists.

A hardback book with 360 pages packed with what I believe must be the most comprehensive reference on the uniforms and equipment of the Luftwaffe in WW2 that I could imagine. … For the serious militaria collector or museum archivist it would be invaluable but also for the interested historian as well as modellers who want to see the finest detail of Luftwaffe uniforms * Military Model Scene 05/01/2016 *
