Philip Kaplan
Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe in World War 2
Buch
This book examines the reality behind the myths of the legendary German fighter aces of World War II.

The book examines the history of the classic fighter aircraft that were flown, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Focke Wulf Fw 190, and examines each type's characteristics, advantages and disadvanta…
