This book is a short photo-history of one Luftwaffe fighter
Staffel, predominantly showing the Battle of Britain period, up to
the point when Willy Fronhoefer belly-landed his Bf 109 E-4, Yellow
10, W. Nr. 1184, at Jubilee Hall Farm, Ulcombe, on 31st August 1940
following combat with Pilot Officer Colin Gray of 54 Squadron. The
photographs record not only aircraft, but personalities of the
Staffel flying and ground personnel's scenes of daily life, the
devastation found as the Staffel advanced through occupied
territory, the enemy aircraft found destroyed or abandoned, and a
population made transient by the horror of war. It is a unique,
brief insight into a very small section of the German war machine
as it enjoyed unparalleled success in its push across western
Europe in the spring and summer of 1940.
