One of the most significant innovations in modern warfare has been
the appearance and development of air power, a technology which
demanded technical and financial investment on a whole new scale
and which ultimately changed the fundamental nature of war itself.
This book covers the history and development of the German air
force from 1935 to 1945, with descriptions and illustrations of
almost all of the Luftwaffe's airplanes, including fighters, jet
fighters, dive-bombers, ground attackers, medium and heavy bombers,
jet bombers, seaplanes, flying boats and carrier planes, transport
and gliders, reconnaissance and training aircrafts, helicopters,
and many futuristic projects and other rarities.
In addition to focusing on detailed descriptions of the
aircrafts themselves, the book also focuses on the Luftwaffe's
traditions, strategies, and organization. Topics include: the air
force's achievements and failures; uniforms, regalia, and ranks of
organization; the airplanes' nomenclature, camouflage, and
markings; and the aircrafts' manufacturers, engineers, designers,
and flying and ground personnel. The book also deals with the
Luftwaffe's ground units, such as the Luftwaffe Infantry Divisions,
the elite HG Division and paratroopers, anti-aircraft artillery,
women in service, and auxiliary forces. Black and white line
drawings provide visual references to the Luftwaffe's airplanes,
uniforms, medals, weapons, and flags.
