Summary: A book of mixed quality
Comment: This is a book that will be great if you allready have another book about the Luftwaffe to complement it. While it has Pictures and short descriptions of every aircraft in the Luftwaffe except a few very early types that are grouped under their own chapter.

This book isn't really as exact as I expected if contains no tech sheet on any aircraft describing it's performance. The text can be very frustrating at times when is say the next model has a greater bomb load but don't tell how big that bombload is.

However the vast number of aircraft described in it makes up for some of that and although it's 2 books bolted together as one (1 about Fighters and 1 about Bombers) it has a nice weight in your hands and looks very nice in the bookshelf.

Summary: Good Source of Information on Luftwaffe
Comment: This book starts with describing how the Luftwaffe was founded back in the 1920s and includes all the aircraft used from the beginning to the end. A very comprehensive account of the relatively short life span of the Luftwaffe.

The aircrafts were divided into 6 groups - single engine fighters, twin engine fighters, high-altitude fighters, night fighters, jet aircraft and rocket aircraft. It contains a large collection of rare Luftwaffe aircraft photographs some of which were never put to production.

This is a good book on the Luftwaffe and should satisfy a lot of Luftwaffe and military historians.

If this book can come with colour-plates of the aircraft like those from the Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series, then I will give it full mark. However, it is still worthwhile to get one.

Summary: The Luftwaffe Album
Comment: I found this book to be quite helpful for studying the types of aircraft flown by the Luftwaffe during World War Two. However, it lacked information on the pilots. Altogether, I would say it's a great book and worth the money.
