Description:

Before the war or during it, the Luftwaffe used, or adapted, virutally every one of its major front-line aircraft types for all manner of essential support roles, be it within the ambulance, communications, headquarters or observer services. It also operated types dedicated to the support role. For Luftwaffe enthusiasts and modelers, the main interest in such aircraft lies in the wide variety of types, and the abundance of camouflage and markings suited to specific theatres, factory and field modifications, and lesser-known emblems. This book includes for example, all-white Ju 52 ambulance aircraft, the famous Fieseler Storch observation aircraft in both desert schmes as well as winter schemes with skis, etc., together with many lesser-known types, including helicopters. Serious Luftwaffe enthusiasts will find a wealth of detail about some of the more familiar types and some rarities which will be of particular interest. Some of the types featured include: Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri helicopter, Focke-Wulf Fw 58 Weihe, Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, Heinkel He 46, Heinkel He 111, Henschel Hs 126, Junkers Ju 52, Junkers Ju 88, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and Siebel Si 204.
