The Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 were at the
forefront of the action as the Luftwaffe battled the combined might of the
Allied air forces across Western Europe and beyond during the Second World War.
Flying in every front, from desert sands to frozen tundra,
they featured a hugely diverse range of markings and colour schemes which have
fascinated aviation enthusiasts ever since.
Luftwaffe Fighters offers more than 200 highly detailed full
colour profiles from world renowned artist Claes Sundin, covering not just the
two most famous types but also front line single-seaters such as the Me 262, Me
163, Ta 152 and He 162 plus the two-seater Bf 110 and night fighter versions of
the Ju 88, Do 17, Do 215, Do 217 and the dedicated night fighter He 219.
The markings of aircraft piloted by aces such as Erich
Hartmann, Gerd Barkhorn and Otto Kittel are meticulously reproduced, based on
original photographs, alongside a wide range of schemes from every year of the
war and every front where the Luftwaffe saw action. Offering a host of
different colour schemes and detailed notes, this is indispensable reading for
enthusiasts and modellers alike.
