From the publisher: Collected by the U.S. Army during briefings shortly after the end of the end of the war, these reports reveal the views of major figures within the German Luftwaffe on everything from their aircraft, operations and tactics, to training, technology, air crews, and reasons for defeat. Many of the reports are by the 103-victory ace Adolf Galland, who discusses escort, fighter, and bomber tactics as well as opinions of Allied aircraft performance. The chief of the ground attack force, ‘Hitsch’ Hitschhold, describe the high-risk operations of Fw 190s and Stukas; Heinz Bar, a 240-victory ace, describes how he led fighter missions; and Walter Dahl, ace anti-bomber specialist, explains his tactics against boxes of B-17s.
FSM says: Deep background for modelers of World War II aircraft.
