Many of the photographs in this book were taken by advancing Allied troops in North Africa and Europe from 1942 onwards, others show aircraft shot down over England or come from Germany after the collapse of the Third Reich. They therefore form a valuable repository of information on aircraft, often from lesser-known units, at various stages of the War. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book uses rare colour photographs from the period - sometimes, it has to be admitted, their rarity value exceeds their usefulness as many pictures are blurred (sometimes through being extreme enlargements to show distant airframes) or are taken under such extreme lighting conditions as to make any interpretation of the colours on display an exercise in imagination. Nonetheless, there are interesting photographs to be found, especially of some of the late-war variants of Luftwaffe aircraft.
The book does start with a few photographs of crashed aircraft from earlier in the war; indeed, there is a page showing two crashed early-mark Bf.109s in Spain; then ten pages of images from the UK, and then another twelve pages of images from Italy, the Balkans, Germany and the Eastern Front before reaching the meat of the book with the last two years of the war. Finally, there is a section discussing the options and schemes for modelling the Me.262 jet fighter.
That section attracts the most criticism from me, as the photographs of (some admittedly very fine) models are quite low resolution digital images and display noticeable pixilation. This should have been so much better, even for a book published in 2006. Mostly, though, the wartime photographs are of such rarity as to make up for this minor quibble, though there is one pair of captions, of two photos of adjoining aircraft, which suggest two different things in each caption. Otherwise, a useful volume I shall refer to again. ( )
