Ships quickly and with care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: At the outbreak of the Second World War the German Air Force was widely judged the finest in the world. Condemned to secrecy by the Treaty of Versailles, the Luftwaffe was publicly acknowledged in 1935 and built at speed under Hermann Goering. This history follows its tactical triumphs over Poland, Norway, Holland and France, and the structural weakness beneath them: no strategic reach, and no means of striking at enemy production. The account traces the force from its peak of effectiveness to its long decline through the Battle of Britain and the Russian campaign. Harold Faber assembled the volume from primary material, including debriefing statements taken from former Luftwaffe generals together w/ captured German documents, diaries and photographs. Telford Taylor, chief counsel for the prosecution at Nuremberg, supplies the introduction. Chapters cover the legend of the Luftwaffe, the high command and the commanders themselves, setting out the rivalries and self-defeating decisions inside Goering's staff. Published by Times Books in 1977, illustrated, 267 pp.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
