Erprobungsgruppe 210 in the Battle of Britain. John Vasco. The activities of
Erprobungsgruppe 210 over England during the bitter fighting of summer 1940 are
recorded here in depth. Their main role was the use of the Me 109 and Me 110 as
fighter-bombers, lacking both the level flight of conventional bombers and the
steep dive of the Stuka. With its attention to detail and correction of
historical inaccuracies, this is a great addition to any WWII aviation library.

German Bombers Over England
Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 12
1940-1944. Griehl. This photo-essay, one of a 21-volume series, covers every
aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II, examining the men and the aircraft they
flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. This softbound, 72 pg.
volume contains 108 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10".
As Hitler's troops celebrated the conquest of France, the Germans prepared to
unleash the largest and most aggressive bomber force in the world on their
hapless British enemy. Directing the bulk of their forces against RAF bases in
the south of England, the Luftwaffe began a punishing series of daylight raids.
In addition Luftwaffe bombers flew against ports and key installations across
Britain. By September 1940 and through the end of that year, the emphasis had
switched to attacking London and the Luftwaffe bombers were flying by day or by
night against British cities.
This book presents rare photographs of the German bombers and their crews.
Covering such mainstays of the German arsenal as the He 111s, JU 87Bs, Ju
88A-1s, Do 17Zs, and even Do 217s and He 177A-3s, this is a unique and valuable
guide to Germany's bomber force.

This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 108 B&W photos along with 8 pages of

The Stuka, although destined primarily for ground support in Hitler's major
campaigns of conquest, also saw action over the Mediterranean, Italy, the
Balkans and North Africa. Indeed, the Ju 87 had first seen action in southern
Europe, flying in support of Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War. The
impact of this dive-bomber was as great here as in Russia and France and,
whether bombing Malta or destroying Allied convoys, the Stuka earned a fearsome
reputation.
This volume presents rare photographs of German and Italian Ju 87s and examines
their role in diverse campaigns such as the attack on Yugoslavia, the conquest
of Greece, the battle for Crete, the air war in support of the Afrika Korps, the
blitz on Malta, anti-shipping operations, the defense of Italy and operations by
the night flying squadrons.

men and the aircraft they flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty
force. This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 110 B&W photos along with 8
pages of color and measures 7"x 10".
This volume depicts the Germans' use of aircraft in Finland and Norway to
maintain their campaign against the Soviet Union. The Fins were active
allies of the Germans in their war against the Soviets and allowed the
Luftwaffe considerable freedom in its operations over Russia. Although
conditions in the north were harsh, the Luftwaffe quickly adapted to the
region and carried out a series of key operations over Russia between 1941
and 1944.
Click Here, you'll see the men and the aircraft used in this campaign, mostly from
Luftflotte 1 and Luftflotte 5. Their fighter units flew Messerschmitt Bf
109s and Focke Wulf Fw 190s and the bomber units were equipped with Junkers
Ju 87 dive bombers and Heinkel He 111s. Close-range reconnaissance units
flew Henschel Hs 126s, Messerschmitt Bf 109s and Focke Wulf Fw 189s, while
the long-range units had Junkers Ju 88s and 188s, Messerschmitt Bf 109s, and
Dornier Do 215s. In addition, coastal patrol units and transport units were
also involved in this critical part of World War II.
