Photo history covers the German Tagjger from 1934-1945 with over 500 photos.

The book offers a comprehensive photo history of the Luftwaffe fighter unit JG 54, showcasing over 400 photographs that capture the unit's journey from its inception in 1939 to its final battles in 1945. It highlights the close-knit relationships among the air and ground crews, forged during intense operations across various theaters, including Poland, France, and Russia. Authored by Werner Held, with contributions from former unit leaders Hannes Trautloft and Ekkerhard Bob, it provides an intimate glimpse into the experiences of those who served in this iconic squadron.

The life of Luftwaffe fighter pilot Walter Nowotny - in photographs, documents, and commentary. Nowotny was highly decorated for his 258 aerial victories, but was well known, above all, for his deployment and command of the Messerschmitt Me 262 Erprobungskommando. Later his "Kommando Nowotny" was the first combat operational jet fighter unit in history (Nowotny won three spectacular air victories with the Me 262). Factual and neutral, this illustrated book explores his short life, and is a highly interesting contribution to World War II aviation history.

Focusing on the Luftwaffe's perspective, this photo volume offers an in-depth exploration of the North African campaign during World War II.
