Luftwaffe Rudder Markings 1936-1945

First American Edition of German original. Minor bump at top of dustjacket spine, elsewise a bright, clean, tight copy sans other flaws. "From the archives of two recognized experts in the field of Luftwaffe historical research the often unique material for this book was taken. There is hardly anyone to equal Messrs. Ries and Obermaier in their task of gradually closing the still existing gaps in the history of Luftwaffe development as far as the air war from 1939 to 1945 is concerned." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in archival black and white photography with accompanyiing descriptive captions. "For the first time a comprehensive view is available of a rather special area on the fringe of the air war that, due to the turbulent events between 1939 and 1945, had been known only to those directly involved." 192 pages.
