Defending the Reich. Jessen. This photo-essay, one of a 21-volume series, covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II, examining the men and the aircraft they flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 102 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10".
In the spring of 1942 the first of the Allied 1,000 bomber raids was launched against the Third Reich. From then on, Germany was pounded by night and by day by a vast armada of Allied aircraft. With a fighter force stretched to capacity by war in Russia and 24-hour defense of the Reich, the Luftwaffe relied on skill, ingenuity and the excellence of their planes to counter the Allied threat.
A key element of that German defense, both during the day and at night, was the Fw 190. A rugged, well armed and reliable machine, and a lethal one in the right hands, the Fw 190 fought Allied bombers right up to the end of the war. This book covers the Fw 190 and its variants in the crucial years of 1943, 1944 and 1945 and presents rare photographs of the planes, their crews and their combat missions.  0040117      1
