Quarto, black cloth (hardcover), xix + 368 pp. Neat former-owner (pilot) bookplate; otherwise, Fine, in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From Introduction to the Series: The publication of this series of official historical studies is at once a most significant contribution to our knowledge of the Second World War and a landmark in the development of commercial publishing. So much is published nowadays -- far beyond the capacity of any individual even to screen -- and so much is printed that ought never to see the light of day, that one tends to forget the considerable amount of writing well worth reading which rarely or never gets published at all. These volumes are an excellent example. Military monographs by foreign officers whose names are unknown to the public are not attractive items to most commercial publishing houses. But sometimes, as in the present case, they are unique sources of information which should be available in public if not in private libraries. Less often, and again as in the caseof these volumes, they are surprisingly well written, and in many parts fascinating to the general reader as well as to the historian or military specialist. From Foreword: [This] is one of a series of historical studies written by, or based on information supplied by, former key officers of the German Air Force for the United States Air Force Historical Division. The overall purpose of the series is threefold: 1) To provide the United States Air Force with a comprehensive and, insofar as possible, authoritative history of a major air force which suffered defeat in World War II; 2) To probide a history of that air force as prepared by many of its principal and responsible leaders; 3) To provide a firsthand account of that air force's unique combat in a major war with the forces of the Soviet Union. This series of studeis therefore covers in large part virtually all phases of the Luftwaffe's operations and organization, from its camoflaged origin in the Reichswehr, during the period of secret German rearmament following World War I, through its participation in the Spanish Civil War and its massive operations and final defeat in World War II. *The large size and heavy weight of this volume will require additional postal fees for overseas or Priority orders.

Mint paperback reprint of a 1965 publication. 365pp. This is the first of three volumes covering operations by the Luftwaffe in Operation Barbarossa. It looks initially at the background to the war against Russia and the deployment of Soviet and German Air Forces in June 1941. It continues with detailed descriptions of air operations to gain air superiority and a narrative of air operations from the far North to the Crimea, with many references to the needs for support and interdiction from the German Army. It was written by LtGen Plocher who was closely involved in the actual operations and is perhaps the only english language material available from such a valuable source.
