Aircraft of the Luftwaffe Fighter Aces/Book 2: A Chronicle in Photographs (Schiffer Military/Aviation History)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent image bank from WWII Luftwaffe.
Review: Excellent book. As its own title names: "A Chronicle in Photographs", this publication was not edited to be a technical book but work as an "image bank". The Volume 2 is a continuation of the first Volume, and covers the JGs 53, 54, 77, 300, 301, 302 and 400, plus several profiles with camouflage patterns and a complete Victory List of Luftwaffe pilots which respective rank and awards (this List was not published in the volume 1). As also occurred in the Volume 1, the major photographs were unpublished and of high quality. The color section features 15 good quality original WWII color photographs, including an excellent full page size image from Hans Philipp in front of his Bf 109 (this makes a good reference for both modelers and uniforms collectors). It is, without doubt, a very desirable publication and I strong recommend both Volumes to every Luftwaffe enthusiast.
