Luftwaffe Eagles - The Men and Machines of Germany's Blitzkrieg

LUFTWAFFE EAGLES: The Men and Machines of Germany's Blitzkrieg.

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.
