JG 54 by Schiffer Publishing
Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing
In five turbulent years the members of this highly successful Luftwaffe fighter unit developed into such a close-knit team that even now - almost fifty years later - that bond still exists. This unique photo history was compiled with assistance from the air and ground crews of JG 54. The 400+ photographs document the story of the Grunherz-Geschwader from its formation in the spring of 1939 to the final battles in the courland pocket in the spring of 1945. Within the timespan lay the arduous years of operations in Poland, France, the Channel Front, the Balkans, Russia, Finland and the defense of the Reich. Werner Held is the author of many books on the Luftwaffe of World War II including The German Fighter Units over Russia, and the Luftwaffe in the North African Campaign (both available from Schiffer Publishing). Hannes Trautloft is a former Geschwaderkommodore of JG 54. Ekkerhard Bob is a former Staffelkapitan in JG 54.[AuthorName]By (author) Werner Held, Hannes Trautloft, and Ekkehard Bob[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration][/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]A Photographic History of the Grunherzjäger[/SubTitle][ColorPattern][/ColorPattern]Product Information
