Jagdgeschwader 26, the German elite fighter unit, was more feared
by the Allies than any other Luftwaffe group. Based on extensive
archival research in Europe, personal combat diaries and interviews
with more than 50 surviving pilots, Caldwell has assembled a superb
day-to-day chronicle of JG 26 operations, from its first air
victory in 1939 to its final combat patrol in 1945. A microcosm of
World War II exists in the rise and fall of this famous fighter
wing. For the first two years of the war it was an even match
between the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force and the
Luftwaffe's Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs; but the scales tipped
in favour of the Allies in 1943 with the arrival of the Eighth US
Air Force and its peerless P-51 Mustang. The book has been endorsed
by the top fighter commanders of three air forces: the RAF (Johnnie
Johnson), the USAAF (Hub Zemke), and the Luftwaffe (Adolf Galland)
and is considered essential reading for anyone interested in the
aerial war of 194145.
