ABOUT
Covers a wide range of German aircraft from the 1930s and 1940s, including stalwarts and experimental designs.

Famous aircraft, some simply workmanlike, some verging on the bizarre, many of them advanced in their technical aspects, are the heart of this book. In his aviation paintings, Michael Turner brings together technical accuracy with a keen observation of mood and situation, and in Luftwaffe Aircraft his work is complemented by an informed and sympathetic commentary by leading aviation historian Frank Mason.

The background is traced through some of the outstanding machines of the first German Air Force, and the bulk of the book is devoted to the aircraft which served through a momentous period in the 1930s and 1940s.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour paintings and drawings.
