This is a truly superb volume with excellent color images of German fighter aircraft, small photographs and dramatic or curious stories experienced by their pilots. The book works this way every 2 pages: while on the left side, one can have the actual story of the pilots that flew the planes (and a B&W period photograph of plane or pilot), on the right side one can found a color profile of the plane. This works very well as the profiles suddenly come alive and tell a story. This volume (along with the 2nd one) is a must have for WW2 aviation buffs and modelers. The artworks and production quality are stunning, well worth the money and then some. Highly Recommended.
