A fascinating book on a subject which is often overlooked. Reading about the actual gear the pilots wore during the Battle of Britain, coupled with many superb illustrations gives the reader a feel of those times. History in print.

Another title from Frontline Books in their Air War Archive series of photo histories and I think the best collection of photos of the Junkers Ju 88 I can recall seeing...
As I said at the outset, an excellent set of archive photos showing the Ju 88 in service during the first half of the war.

The detail seen in many photos are a modellers delight, and you can get to see the gradual developments incorporated in the aircraft as time moved on. Captions are helpful and informative, and the various scenes, with airframes both intact, in flight, undergoing maintenance or in some cases, crashed following being shot down will be a boon to modellers as well as the aircraft historian who is interested in the story of the 109.

In the centre section there are some excellent full colour profiles which illustrate the camouflage and markings that will be a great source of inspiration for modellers. Added to these is one page of colour photos showing a preserved Condor Legion uniform along with various badges and insignia. There are some other aircraft pictured throughout the book, but the coverage of the main types mentioned above is certainly the best I have ever seen, especially of the He 112. A good value paperback book, presented in a similar style to the Pen and Sword Images of War series, this is at a good value for money price.
