ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

"A very nice release about the most recognizable German aircraft of the Second World War" from the author of Rommel's Army in the Desert (Inscale.org).
The photographs in this collection belonged to Luftwaffe Stuka rear gunner and radio operator Erich Heine. The collection includes photographs of flights of Stukas in formation, operating training aircraft, and a selection of different Luftwaffe uniforms and flight gear. The photographer was based for a period in Czechoslovakia, was shot down over the Ukraine in August 1943 and for a time was listed as missing in action.
This collection offers a unique insight into the German experience of World War Two, providing the opportunity to access materials that have never been published before
"The book very ably documents the war career of the aircraft and the pilots, reproducing some outstanding images of war." —Firetrench
"The most remarkable thing about this album is that it contains photographs of perhaps the most famous Stuka ace, Hans-Ulrich Rudel." —Inscale.org
"The photographs . . . show the life of Erich and Luftwaffe Stuka crew members through training/deployment/leave and include funerals of squadron members . . . The narrative gives a good overview of the Stuka in service and the photographs show varied views of the aircraft and day to day life within the squadron." —WW2 Talk
