This comprehensive volume tells the rarely recounted stories of the
numerous foreign air forces that supported the German Luftwaffe as
part of the Axis' quest to dominate the European and Pacific
theaters-a highly compelling and often overlooked chapter of World
War II history. The Axis Air Forces: Flying in Support of the
German Luftwaffe presents an untold history of that global
conflict's little-known combatants, who nonetheless contributed
significantly to the war's outcome. While most other books only
attempt to address this subject in passing, author Frank Joseph
provides not only an extremely comprehensive account of the "unsung
heroes" of the Axis fliers, but also describes the efforts of Axis
air forces such as those of the Iraqi, Manchurian, Thai or
Chinese-specific groups of wartime aviators that have never been
discussed before at length. This book examines the distinct but
allied Axis air forces of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the
Middle East, and Asia. An extensive introduction provides coverage
of Luftwaffe volunteers from Greece, Lithuania, Holland, Denmark,
Norway and even the United States. Detailed descriptions of the
personnel themselves and the aircraft they operated are portrayed
against the broader scope of combat missions, field operations, and
military campaigns, supplying invaluable historical perspective on
the importance of their sorties. Photographs of the aircraft
