The Luftwaffe fighter force

This unique compilation of in-depth accounts by major figures in the German fighter force in World War II describes, in the words of the men who did the flying and the fighting, how the Luftwaffe operated and carried out its missions. These accounts are written by professionals for professionals and record the German fighter leaders' views on their aircraft, the aircraft used by the Allies, operations, tactics, training, technology, aircrew and reasons for the ultimate failure of the Luftwaffe. They were compiled for the use of the USAAF soon after the war was over.
