Add some memories from a few of the veterans who used all this gear we have a well detailed coverage of the German fighter pilot's personal equipment from the early period of the war. There are illustrations from Luftwaffe manuals showing how kit should be laid out in a wardrobe for inspection. The item that I had not expected or seen before, was a uniform carry bag. The information and the colour pictures of surviving items are ideal for militaria collectors, re-enactors and modellers alike. As a modeller myself, this offers a fine reference, interesting for the historian in me as well.

An easy book to recommend for Luftwaffe historians as well as modellers. Loads of fascinating archive images and modellers I think will like this one for the detail that is shown in the photos and the large number of pictures which can inspire some great diorama ideas.

The book describes in detail, often in the words of those who carried them out, a very great number of escape attempts and their very diverse methods, which ranged from the engineering complexities of digging and keeping secret the many tunnels, to simply walking out of the main gate as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
