Synopsis
The Transportflieger was an important but often forgotten arm of the Luftwaffe, responsible for providing essential supplies and battlefield support to both the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe during their World War II campaigns across Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and finally the Ardennes and the remains of the Reicht. This book comprehensively covers the Transportflieger and its legendary workhorse, the Ju52, in its transport, parachute, and airlift roles. Also covered are others in the wide range of interesting aircraft employed by the Transportflieger, including the massive Me321 and Me323 Gigant heavy-lift glider and six-engined transporter, as well as the impressive multi-engined Ju290, Ju352 Herkules, Ju390, and the huge Bv222 flying boat. The book's numerous photos and color artworks serve as an excellent reference for aviation historians and modelers. The book also includes first-hand reminiscences from those who actually flew with the Transportflieger during the war.

About the Author
Martin Pegg from an early age showed an interest in aviation history and World War II, particularly the operations of the Luftwaffeís dive-bomber, ground-attack and anti-tank units. In the course of his research, which included detailed correspondence and interviews with many former Luftwaffe air and ground personnel, Pegg discovered a substantial quantity of revealing new information, which served to dispel many inaccurate myths. He now works full time as an aviation editor. He is a keen aircraft modeler and has won International Plastic Modelers Society awards for his work.

Transporter Volume Two - Luftwaffe Transport Units 1943-1945
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. In just a decade, Britain's railway network has undergone a significant transformation in motive power. The shift to privatisation has replaced much of the legacy from British Rail, introducing a variety of new locomotives and multiple units across the country. This comprehensive volume, authored by expert Colin Marsden, details all current types of locomotives and multiple units in operation on the national network. Historically, Ian Allan Publishing's 'Recognition' series was a favorite among railway enthusiasts, designed to help them identify various motive power across the network. These volumes evolved through numerous editions during the changes of the 1980s and early 1990s. With the reduction in the number of different classes, it is now feasible to compile a single volume that encompasses all existing locomotives and multiple units. Mirroring the successful format of earlier editions, this book offers detailed technical descriptions of each class, complemented by a range of photographs showcasing class variants and their liveries. Fully illustrated in color, it provides extensive coverage, including first-generation equipment still in service, albeit in dwindling numbers, alongside the diverse new equipment introduced since the 1990s.
