Aviation Specials Magazine Luftwaffe Eagles Edizione posteriore

From the invasion of Poland in September 1939 the men and machines of the Luftwaffe provided the spearhead of Hitler’s blitzkrieg across Europe and then into the heart of the Soviet Union. Throughout these momentous years, Luftwaffe pilots found themselves at the controls of cutting edge warplanes, culminating in jets far ahead of anything the Allied forces could muster. Luftwaffe Eagles is a new 100-page special magazine packed with first-hand accounts, features by leading aviation writers, glorious artwork and contemporary photos. Prepared by the renowned editorial team that brings you Britain’s top-selling aviation monthly, FlyPast, this is a highly collectable tribute to a formidable air force.

Features include:

EMIL AND GUSTAV
Sam Tyler examines the pedigree of a pair of surviving Messerschmitt Bf 109s.

RICHTHOFEN ACES
Chris Goss analyses an informal gathering of brothers-in-arms and their destinies.

FELLING GIANTS
The Luftwaffe’s long-ranging Fw 200 Condors were vulnerable as they returned to their bases. We describe how Allied intruders culled the mighty warriors.

HORNETS

WAKE-UP CALL
It could have been a cataclysmic blow to the Allied advance. Instead, the Luftwaffe’s New Year’s Day re-invention of Blitzkrieg was a costly, but heroic, venture. Chris Goss explains.
