The latest installment of the acclaimed Wings of the Black Cross series, number fifteen is once again authored by Mark Proulx and is illustrated with color profiles by James Bentley.

The cornerstone of this series continues to be the “deeper dive” into the fighter aircraft of the Jagdwaffe. The aircraft were flown on every front by experienced fighter pilots during World War 2. Consequently, the book relies heavily on a photographic analysis of the Bf 109 and Fw 190, and many of their variations.

James Bentley continues to provide his detailed color interpretations of the aircraft flown by such notable wartime personalities as:

-Adolf Galland, Stab./JG 26

-Werner Machold, 7./JG 2

-Hans “Fips” Philipp, I./JG 54

-Hans-Ekkehard Bob, 9./JG 54

However, it is important to note that the Luftwaffe also operated other aircraft types in the air campaign. The book also includes dive bombers and other types of aircraft. The book also includes additional photo coverage for:

Bf 111

Original photos were gathered from decades of collection by the author. The captions of the photos are used to highlight important details. This usually involves color discussion and a larger historical narrative. The majority of the photos in this book are unpublished and are being printed for the very first time. A few select contributors have also graciously supplied photos from their private collections.01001010Additional installments for this series are planned for future releases.01001010
